Re: Week 1: A Continent Full of Music! @Blaise Laflamme I’ve started it a few times, but I’ve never finished it. I remember it being harder than it sounds. Maybe I should be sure to get to it this challenge.

Re: Week 1: A Continent Full of Music! @Moyses Lopes That's so great! My mother played, but nothing fancy - just strumming chords to folk songs. It's so amazing that you are carrying on in your father's love for the guitar.
