Sometimes I randomly play little riffs on my guitar that I make up in the hallways, chapel, my classroom, during tests, well…whenever I’m holding onto my guitar that is…
Well, one day while the second graders were getting in a circle for a music game, I just pulled off a little riff and Tommy says in a sincere, matter-of-fact voice… “Huh, that’s cool Mr.G, sounds kinda like Master of Puppets.” He was right…which was interesting to say the least… but why was an 8-year-old making connections between my riffs and 80s hardrock?
