"I used to spend a couple of hours a day practicing, then I became addicted to this stuff."

lol I hear that. What styles? I've been playing mostly country (older country) & blues lately, though I do like most styles. I also play a little banjo, lap steel, harmonica, and mandolin. Mostly guitar though. I just got a hold of my grandfather's violin found again after a recent move, and it's in decent condition (I think he bought it no later than the 1920's.) I want to see if I can learn to play it, but it's a bit different, especially learning to use the bow. I wish I had more time to practice. I really need to start writing songs again. Will mean less time here; the way some of the threads have been going lately, might do me good to take a little break.

Cheers!

I started with heavy rock (led zep, slade, uriah heep...) went to blues and am now doing my best to learn jazz. I have a younger brother who started the way I did but ended up joining a country band which he played with for quite a few years. He's been trying to turn me to jazz but at my age I'm finding the change of genre a bit difficult.

I too have a few 'unfinished works' sitting on my desk.
