Still giging regularly at 80, catching up with the Old guys!! Wife is wanting to retire as the Roadie! Guitar seems to get heavier every year!

| I'm about half-way between old (93) and real old (94) and I still play at church and I'm working on a Gospel CD. That's enough for me. My steel guitar keeps gaining weight and is getting too heavy for me to move around. |

Recently I had my friend Leroy Wood over to do some playing. He's 91 and still plays often!

Sam, you're welcome. I'll use you and Leroy as inspiration. Hopefully I will still be playing in the next 20+ years! I will pass your message along by encouraging him to log on and read it himself.
