I wish you well and hope the pain passes quickly for you TF. I'm trying to avoid knee surgery, my orthopedic surgeon is willing to try injecting a jell type substance and a brace. It may give me more time before the inevitable. I've been hard on the equipment over the years and joints are wearing out. I just underwent several surgery's on my back and the pain is finally at a tolerable level. I've been on heavy doses of morphine and oxycodone for the last four years so thats another issue I have to deal with. I still have to take care to not lift heavy things which means no Duesenburg guitar for Christmas.

Like Amy said, please do take pictures, I always enjoyed renovating and while I can't do it anymore it's still fun to see what others do. I know my wife would just love to see what you do with an old church hall.

Re: How Much Do You Practice (41 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I don't practice as much as I would have liked to, age and injuries have kept me down for way to long, but it's getting better. The desire is strong so it keeps me going forward, with the good days outnumbering the bad days.

Re: Guild F2512e (6 replies, posted in Acoustic)
I just can't stuff my much loved guitars in a "bag", I've seen the damage done and it aint pretty, Hardshell cases are the better and safer way to store and transport any guitar. Most well stocked guitar/music stores will carry cases.

Re: Stand Up, Stand Up TIGLJK (9 replies, posted in Songwriting)
Good stuff TIG, long ago I lived in a small town, where there was injustice, hatred, brutality and racial tension, it seems like nothings changed and I'm having another piece of that pie all over again. I am so sad that people have not changed or learned anything from those times.

I've got a deering 5 string banjo which sits it the corner most of the time, a 6 string just might see more playing time. Gonna have to tell the wife I found one laying along the road and I just had to bring it home.

Re: transition to 12 string (20 replies, posted in Acoustic)
Hello onenumber, I'd have to say it's the same old story of practice, practice and more practice. I think you will find it easier as time goes by, I mostly play my 6 string but it's always a bit of a treat to let those 12 strings ring out now and again. There are those who say tune the 12er down a step or two but I like to keep both guitars in standard tuning.
