  • my grandfather was suppose to teach me how to play You are my sunshine , and i was giong to play it at my graduation. I never even played guitar all my life, i just use to sit and watch him play. He would show me the chords but i could never pick them out... he died last year and it tore me up inside, and my new goal in life is to learn how to play guitar, expecially You are my sunshine, because that was his favorite song, as well as my grandmothers, who had passed away 5 months after he did..
