Gabe (27): You, you should never stop

Gabe writes his key moment in my notebook

He was a teenager and had been taking guitar lessons since he was nine. That went really well, but as an adolescent of 17 years young you want something other than playing with chords, so he wanted to get rid of the guitar. However, the relationship with his guitar teacher was so special that he asked his mother to bring him the news, Gabe simply did not dare. He had to come along, his mother said. They came in and the mother immediately put the elephant on the table: 'Gabe is going to stop taking guitar lessons'. That's it, he thought, and now let's get to my football. But. The look in his teacher's eyes made him decide differently. He experienced a mix of sadness and disappointment. And the words: 'There are many students of whom I would like to play football, but you Gabe, you are not allowed to stop, that would be a 'waste of talent'. are. Gabe stayed and 18 years later he is playing the guitar stars of heaven. At home, at Afrikaburn, everywhere. What do you think he traded his coffee and food for at the festival? Music music music.
