You’re welcome Jan. Tom, I’m glad I have a fellow musician on here. Do you normally stick to acoustic or electric? I have a little bit of both, but my heart is in playing acoustically.

Michael:

I played electric guitar professionally for about 20 years. I finally got an education in computer science and moved on. Due to arthritis in my left hand, I was unable to play as well as I once did so I just stopped all together about ten years ago. I still have many friends in the industry. Unfortunately, their number decreases each year with seeming perfect regularity. If you still have the passion then you are indeed blessed.

You have at least two of us “old pickers” here as David was/is a guitar player too.

Later,
Tom

Nice job Michael, and I agree with others that there is nothing more satisfying than seeing vintage tools that are in a state of neglect, shine and be used once again..

So as watch guys we must also fall into the category of Protectors Of The Holy Tools 😆

I hate to hear that Tom. I enjoy it but I do go through phases of just setting the stuff down for a month or so. I used to never think I would ever go a day without playing but times change and kids happen. Chris, thank you, and if we don’t protect them they end up used in jewelry dangling from some teenagers ear….or eyebrow.
