ok ... I read this post the other day that Phill put out......
Re: G'day to all.
Hi Bushy, from one old fogey to another my gigging days are rapidly coming to an end too. It's funny how when you start out you think you'll go on forever but as friends diminish and your idols get to look old and wrinkly, your fingers ache and you can't straighten up after bending and standing up singing and playing guitar for 2 hours really hurts, you realise it's time to hang up the Stetson and lose the southern twang. I'm not looking forward to that day but i know it's not far off. So let's grow old disgracefully....
got me thinking about how many times I thought about quitting what I love to do.....
I put the two together and said to my self - bulls*** - Phill, Graham, Russell, Beamer, Mojo, BGD, Zurf, TF, Bill, and all the rest - ain't never quitting as long as its physically possible for them to continue. 
Some how this song came out of my head from that... hope you like it.
