RE: L.A. Guitar Quartet - 4 Variations on Twinkle Twinkle Little Star - Music
I am old enough to remember when the 8-track tape deck was a new and marvelous feature to have in a car. Dad bought a used car, pulled out the tape deck, and SOLD it. Gaaah! Dad! (He also disassembled a piano and hauled it out to the barn, where it rotted, rather than pay for lessons.)
Wow.
How I missed this when you posted it I don't know, but it brings to mind Neale Donald Walsch's recollections of his own dad smashing apart his piano when he was a boy, and his own crushing sorrow, when he refused to come out of his room, or even get out of bed, for four days after the fact.
My dad made a few bonehead moves in his life, haven't we all, but I'd wager that destroying a musical instrument was never among them.
