I didn't expect ANY kind of response to this post. I was pleasantly surprised to hear the upbeat comments from you guys.
While I'm on a roll, I'd really appreciate more remarks for this reason. I've been thinking for a while now about changing course even this late in life. I like American music and I play American music, but my forte and preference is...."foreign" music."
I've been thinking about posting that for a while now. I think I WILL put a post together and see if anyone has a suggestion on how to go about it or open my eyes up to "opportunities." Bill already planted a seed in my mind with his "Here on Hilton head a new resturant just open called "Taste of Europe" run by two Hungarian ladies and its getting rave reviews."

Huh???????? I don't recall seeing any one-handed guitar players. In any case, YOU'd still need another hand to POST .

Chas: have you ever considered saying something positive and uplifting like the other members did here?
Mark, I was questioning why Donny would think piano and accordion were the only instruments one could do 'three things at once'. You want to tell me what I AM allowed to say? Hey, I'm positive and uplifting when there's something to be positive and uplifting about. As I recall, YOU aren't always the king of warm fuzzies yourself (remember those ).

Chas maybe you don't understand SOLO playing TWO "Different parts at once and singing....I don't think strumming a guitar qualifies sorry.

For years, the city of Lexington would hire us to play at the turn-around point for holiday races. We'd use acoustic drums, guitar, upright and a trumpet or saxophone. Lots of runners (about 10,000) would tip.
Then, we'd move downtown to play during the holiday festivities. Again, good tips.
