Good to know. Playing music? Even better! I’ve played electric guitar for close to 60 years. I also play some drums and percussion. I recently bough a conga drum, which my wife encouraged me to do. I’ve been learning a number of traditional Afro-Cuban beats and patterns. I decided to get a second conga drum, which honestly I didn’t really NEED, but I told myself— and my wife— that learning new things helps to keep you mentally sharp.... she agreed! Now THAT, guys, is an awesome wife!

I have a nice Pearl set that resides in my buddies basement studio, a set of bongos too. Not as fast as I used to be, but a bit more accurate I think.
