A Guitarist and His Dog
This is actually a story about my friend Jack's dog, Billie.
So, my bud Jack had always wanted to play the guitar professionally, but he never really had the confidence to actually pursue it. He would always play for us at any party or get-together we would have, and although he always sounded awesome and put on a great show, he was still too shy to play out.
That is until Billie came into his life. Billie is a lovable female mixed breed, that has a unique talent for dancing along whenever Jack plays his guitar. He would play and she would get excited and start dancing around the room. Jack would laugh and just start having real fun playing while he watched her dance.
With encouragement from all of us, and Billie's antics, it gave Jack the confidence he needed to audition, and he soon started playing gigs outside a local coffee shop. A dog named Billie dancing, and her joy at his playing, gave Jack the confidence to pursue his musical dream.
