Mine was "Carbonel" by Barbara Sleigh. I read it when I was 5 and progressed to Pooh. Ratty, Mole and Toad through to Narnia and beyond!

Ode To Poe

Dark, decrepit, dreary damned night
Fills my bowels with stones of fright
My eyes shift from the left to the right
While shadows dance in the pale moonlight

No human should walk the earth at this hour
Per chance to meet some unearthly power
I watch, I listen, I dodge, I cower
While heart burns, stomach churns, and mouth tastes sour

The cold wind howls with evil glee
Anticipating my destiny
I know some spectre waits for me
To rend, to end mortality

I watch it standing up ahead
With fingers of bone and eyes of red
Beckoning me to join the dead
I change my path, with feet of lead

I begin to tremble and I can swear
If only in mind, there's something here
And I die in waiting, there's death in fear
Damned night be gone, glorious dawn appear

I just turned 16, and one dream I have is to take up the guitar.

Is it too late to take up the guitar at 16 and become good with it? I don't mean like a rockstar, but I want to be better than decent.

By guitar, I mean electric.

Motivation and hard work is not a problem for me, because I'm willing to practice hard to get it down.

Please answer honestly. I don't want like "You can do it!" type answers. I just want anyone who is skilled with guitar to tell me if its possible to get skilled with it if you start at 16.

On a scale from 1-10, 1 not being important and 10 being very important, how important is it to know how to read music for guitar? Are there any famous guitarists that don't know how to read music?

I can't get the G string to get the right sound no matter how hard I press and my finger on the D string isn't even touching the G string and not the one on the A string either. Any Insight? Tips?

How do I know which notes to start with or end with? Do the notes of the melody have to coincide with notes in the chord being played? Or if I have a melody, do I have to use chords that have some of the same notes as in the melody? Sometimes I'll write a chord progression but then I try to write a melody for it and the melody follows the chord progression exactly and then there's no point in having the chord progression if the melody is exactly the same. Sometimes I'll write a melody and try to put a chord progression over top of it but then the progression mimics the melody. I've been listening to songs recently and trying to analyze them to see how chords and melodies fit together, but there's something that great songwriters do that I just cant put my finger on. I especially admire the Beatles and Kurt Cobain as songwriters. Do you know of any good books or sites about song writing or melodies or how to put melodies together with an accompaniment?

A win-win challenge, I hope-
What is the link to a favorite library online that has cool genealogical goodies? Hidden treasures?
Newbies, you too can play... if you don't yet have a favorite, try to find if your local library has anything special to offer, or maybe I can nudge you to check out what your State library has. The Texas state archives, for example has a data base of original land grants for the whole state. Note... this challenge is not limited to US sources.
Looking for some smiles. Looking for some "wow, I never thought of that". Something to benefit lots of people.

I've been considering picking up the banjo lately, and I currently play guitar. The first music that I listened to with a lot of banjo was Sufjan Stevens' Illinoise, but there's a lot out there that's folk-y and I'd be pretty excited to play it.

Does anyone play the banjo now, and what do you think? Would it be easy to switch between instruments?

I'm confused. I was talking to someone the other day and they said that someone was going to be sexually assulted in the last book? What's up with that? Is that a rumor (please tell me that it is!)? They couldn't remember where they heard that and I'm really confused! Help!
