John Chafe and I

I worked on making my hand stronger for barre chords today. Or is it bar chords? I listened to my CD by John Chafe. I hope I can learn all those songs so I can sing and perform them. I don't want my music to be lost just because he moved to Iowa, but my skill levels are so far below his that it's going to be hard to pick up the guitar part. Memorizing the words is the easy part since I wrote most of them. I appreciate more than ever what a skilled guitarist he is.
