Yup, I hesitate to call what I play practice unless it stinks, then it's just practice lol 

Def all is fun! Whatever you call it.

Colleen had a health scare but she is doing great healing up well from surgery and all after a few months. Thanks :)

Thanks, Derek. Still putting the time into practicing so I'm glad it's discernable in the results. I was musing the other day on that very subject actually. I think if we're not performing then we'll forever be practicing, right? After all, it's a constant learning experience this music game. Thinking a little more I guess we're still learning even when we perform or "play" for others.

Interesting that we refer to the act of making music as "playing" too, huh? Playing denotes fun so we can honestly say if you're not having fun playing guitar then we're doing it wrong! I'm rambling haha.

We're both good thanks. Plodding along, aiming for a better future and planning for it too. Thanks for asking my friend.

Hope you're well too?

Thanks Richard. That'll be "the stoning". I'm always sending Dani to sleep when I play and my biggest problem when playing is keeping my eyes open to see where I am on the neck. Great for ear training when you can't keep your eyes open though! Also, I wish I knew when I first became disabled in 2004 how much playing music, or the blues, helps with pain relief and stress management. It really does. 

Thanks again, Richard. I appreciate the kind words.

Bears in and out of  hibernation, but it’s always special when you drop by and share your latest musings. You have such great touch, the tones are  therapeutic, I’m now relaxed, want to play, and I forgot what ticked me off today. Glad to hear you, thanks for sharing!

Thanks Dave, Nancy and Danny. I appreciate the nice comments and nice to be missed. I played for this video through a hacked 1970s radio cassette player so no reverb or anything just natural overdrive from the old speaker trying to handle the guitar's power.

Thanks again all and I hope you're all well.

Bear :0)

Definitely, Brian. I had so many that my workroom was the overflow storage area for the ones I couldn't fit in the living room permanently. I sleep in the living room because I have to be on the bed for a large portion of the day. I have a specialist hospital bed nowadays too and with all the other equipment and adaptations needed by a full-time wheelchair user space gets scarce haha. Not that I'm complaining. I've got a fretted three string, fretless three string and a six string resophonic guitar so I've covered most bases there in the ones I kept. Plus one on the bench I'm building as a special project and one I recently built that needs adjustments and an under saddle piezo fitting (and buying). Nope, I doubt I'll ever be "poor" as far as guitar ownership is concerned! 

Hey Pick. No, not duck-ted and no aliens were involved in the harming of the Bear ;0) After my advances during their last visitation they've been giving me a wide berth. Hope you're well old chap.
