Classical guitarist Julia Crowe still remembers her first guitar. It was given to her by a guest who stayed at a rooming house run by her grandmother. In her new book "My First Guitar," Crowe tells the stories of 70 legendary musicians, including Elvis, Jimmy Page, Les Paul, Carlos Santana and Sharon Isbin. In a conversation with WBFO's Jim Ranney, Crowe says many musicians have fond memories of the first time they picked up the instrument that would change their lives.
Crowe's book, "My First Guitar: Tales of True Love & Lost Chords from 70 Legendary Musicians," is published by ECW Press.
