He was my boss, when I was a loan officer. I had been looking for him. I just now found him. He used to take my son and put him on his lap and play him like he was a guitar.
My sister Lisa English, used to do the same thing to me when I was little. Every time my son came into the office, he would say, "Guitar Man!" and my son would start giggling. My son is 16 now, he was about 4 then.
