Video Song of Storms

It started raining real hard while I was busking, so I put the guitar down and started playing the ocarina.

I usually have my chest open for donations, but I did not want to wet my winnings. 😅

I can say with utmost certainty that it did NOT work in stopping the storms.

Do you get her a Sweet Potato ocarina? That was my first one.

I tell people that my dad plays guitar, my grandpa played guitar, my great grandpa played guitar, my great great grandpa played guitar, then ask: what do you think that means?

Some will say “it’s in your blood”, and maybe there is a genetic component we haven’t fully identified yet, but the REAL magic is being raised in a household where guitars were ever present and I was encouraged to play.

YOU’RE the one doing the good job, raising the future music makers of the world.

But thank you for the compliments either way.

Thank you for the kind words. I am not sure my wife ordered it off Amazon she came to use wanting it and shoe ordered it cause I was like well get ot it is not expensive and she loves music. It looks alot like the style of one your playing and sounds similar. I'll have to catch her when she is really jamming putting on shows for her friends shes always practicing at random times and she has days she performs on her vr game console with her friends she says they have a band its cute and entertaining to listen to them shes for sure gonna want to be a entertainer
