I can only say from experience that my great grandfather came over here from Sweden as a drummer boy from the Swedish Army Corps.

He wasn't much of a warrior per se, but he had musical skills that you couldn't believe.  He could play anything.

He could play any kind of instrument that you laid in front of him...because that's what he knew...music. 

The only thing I have left from him is an very old Yamaha guitar that he left for me in his will.  I know that he knew how to play it, but I don't.

But dammit to hell God, I wish I did.
