I logged back on just to reply to this thread, can’t sleep again. I jammed a little along with the TV n then just got in bed to read tons of posts here, I got lucky and a bunch of great music was on Austin City Limits late last night. I couldn’t possibly agree with you more toofat about the music. I’d give up any other two senses to keep my hearing, and I truly love photography. And sunsrises/sunsets. A sunrise from Carmel, the only place on the west coast to see a sunrise over the water, made me bawl like a baby it was so dang beautiful. Yet music moves and heals me more. At age 42 I finally found out a mid life crisis wasn’t some kind of joke, went out an purchased a bunch of used and new guitars, amps, etc. The only thing I held on to from my past was a Rat, distortion box, old school. possibly older than me. I got a new Amp about 6 or 8 months ago small enough to keep in bed with me as I was recovering from surgeries. I had to be able to play my guitar, on my back, in bed. I’m not even that good. But lately somehow I’ve been able to jam along with so much more of the music as it’s playing. It’s heaven. I just grew my fingernails back because I always drop picks and some days I just can’t find one soon enough. I found a bunch of new sounds to make with my fingers and the different characteristics of my fingernails, or groups of fingernails. My last girlfriend has a masters degree in music, lot’s of CD’s her dad recorded and burned for her, on piano. Talent, and she’s a dang genius. Too bad she had no patience for my adhd symptoms. She had her issues too. In college at 16 and her IQ was so high I think it may have made her nuts. Who am I to judge her anyway. She’s another person now. I need to stop calling her my “last” girlfriend. I haven’t given up on romance. Just on a long vacation, sortof. I’m always meeting women I get very interested in very quickly, but just don’t follow through, or give up too easy. If they play hard to get, I go fish somewhere else! and just say “I’m goin back to my music now. The strings have always been my first love. If I ever decide not to get cremated, I’ll be buried with a giant whad of all the used strings I’ve saved from guitars I’ve played. Nothing sounds as awesome as brand new perfectly tuned strings, huh?
I’m a heavy metal rocker, but I’ve been on a county n WESTERN kick lately. Willie, Waylon, and the boys. I found an awsome CD of “classic country outlaws” and a willlie nelson and johny cash “storytellers live” treasure too, reminds me of the stuff my folks always played when I was a yungster. My current favorite tune is “Are you Sure Hank Done It This Way”
