Hi Gary,
Yes , am aware about having to sell the boat, but for your own safety, and maybe for others, what other choice could you make, no matter how much it hurt.

Truly awful that singing is no longer an option, but you still have hands and a good brain, remember you mentioning about reading the manual if you had an sx.

Never give up , doctors aren’t always right. When my husband broke his back , age 28, doctors told us expected life span of a parapalegic was 50 to 55 years of age. The old B**ger is still around going on for 72. So there.

As for the kids, gave my granddaughter psr 1500, don’t know how much she played it.
Gave her the PA800, handed it back with a broken key ( which I replaced , with a bit of help from the other half). She plays a bit of guitar, keyboards don’t really interest her, so sold the rest of mine on eBay. Sheer laziness , or the hassle of it, I never got round to it till a few weeks back.

Been to SA, but not Woomera, would have been an interesting place back then.

Look forward to hearing your rendition of Waltzing Matilda when your voice improves enough for you to record it.

Thank You too Gary,
This place has been a hoot, over many years.
