Dave returns and the lurkers come out of the woodwork! LOL! ;D

Good to see you're still above ground and kicking. I've lost a few friends and acquaintances since February... Tough year!

CraigBert glad to be back amigo. Long time since we all met up on the Pod Forums, then The Watering Hole, then here. Sorry to hear about your lost friends. I live in a retirement community and I lose them regularly, so I can relate.

What's scary is that they aren't really hitting retirement age... 63, 60 and 58. All due to heart attacks. Ironically, my friend and ex-business partner is the only one to have one and survive (he just turned 75).

I will be 76 next birthday, scary time of life sometimes......

Thanks Marco and Tripper. I also still play guitar every day despite my old age. I can't say as I can play as well as I once did, but I keep on practicing and playing against my backing tracks, plus a little chord work and scales in the beginning of each session.

All is good here Jon G I still practice a bit every day, not enough to be as exacting as I would need if I played out, but I do not play out, and at my age and the small money they pay around here, playing out is unlikely
