I disobeyed my parents to see Hendrix on a Sunday night. I always listened to my parents except for this one time. I thought I was going to catch hell.. My parents never said a word. I've always wondered about that. It took me many decades to figure out what happened. It was because they supported me in my learning to play the guitar - they always did. That was an awesome thing to realize.
