Some years back I adopted my wife’s practical idea of acquiring the tools, books and materials for those hobbies I had an interest in doing upon retirement. It became dogma at our house and we have tons of items laid up for different hobbies.
However just after I retired I also picked up a new thing — harmonicas. I played one just a bit, struggling, as a teenager. Never learned any musical instrument.
Do you know that there are five or six major harmonica brands? Do you know that there are about eight different types of harmonicas? Do you know that every type can be made in almost every key? Do you know that amplifiers and microphones are custom made for that harmonica sound?
Well you get the idea: GAS == Gear Acquisition Syndrome. All begun after my income ended — LOL.
