Gary, I heard from a wise man �

�Never run from something, better to run to something you like�.

The only time I sold one of my guitars was to buy a batter one. I paid $90 for first guitar; bought and sold until I owned an L5 Gibson, and then moved to a handmade D�Angelico guitar. I bought the guitar for $1,000; ten years later I sold it for $17,000 ---- to move up to a D�Aquesto guitar. My buying and selling roots come from owning a music store in Long Island, New York.

I have bought my share of keyboards and I feel this forum and its temptation are a good part of the reason. I become bored with my keyboard and instead of becoming inventive I�d read about how great the new whatever was.

PS, Gary I understand going into retirement and having to slow down physically. How about an update on how you are handling your life. I get a little bit of a feeling that your picture with drink in hand does not tell the whole story,
