A minor, E7 and G are the first three chords of Rick Elmore\u2019s favorite song to play on the guitar.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When he has free time in his busy schedule, you might find the 1992 Wilson College of Textiles alumnus strumming \u201cHotel California,\u201d by the Eagles. Eyes closed, fingers skillfully moving along the strings of his acoustic guitar with a smile on his face.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It reminds him of one of his most cherished holiday memories: playing guitar with his father, well into the night, as the rest of the family and friends would sing along.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
There was never a family get-together or party when the guitars didn\u2019t come out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After losing him in 2012, Elmore has held on even tighter to memories of his late father, Robert \u201cBob\u201d Elmore \u201969.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
