Well done Russell, I always enjoy your music.     

Beamer, you might be able to lift the cover off the base and turn the individual outlet plugs in the direction desired,  just remember to unplug from the wall or turn off the breaker.(says the guy who doesn't, and forgets the golden rule of electricians, touch only one wire at a time, thus lighting himself up and tripping the breaker anyhow. Good luck on your future gigs.     

You are not alone, I understand what you are living with.  Nothing can make it "go away",  understanding is the first step in learning how to "live with depression and anxiety".  Drugs can help but keep in mind that these same drugs used for treating depression also can have some terrible side effects. Sometimes it takes a long time to find a combination of drugs that works and may need minor adjustments as time passes, what works for one person may not work for another person.  The chemistry of human brain is still not fully known and treatment with drugs is mostly trial and error, so its important to keep a daily journal to help you adjust.  It ain't fun, its just a fact of life.     

Glad you're back,  rebuilding the callouses on the fingers will be rewarding.     

Politics is a dirty game,  it appears the shame of politicians exists everywhere.     

I like it Beamer.  I usually don't comment or critique because I'm not a writer and I'm not a very good musician. I only know when I like something and this is one I like. I look forward to hearing a recording.     

CG,  I live up on a ridge and measured the snow at 13 inches,  my daughter lives six miles from me down in the valley and measured the snow at 9 inches. I can't shovel snow because of my spinal injuries so I have to use a snow blower. My machine has four forward gear settings and two reverse gear setting so all I have to do is steer it, the only way it can get any easier is if someone runs it.  It's mostly trees up here so a lot of power lines get taken down in hard to reach areas. The power company line men are awesome, working in places and conditions that are dangerous enough, then add in high voltage.  I always have hot coffee ready when they are working in our area during the winter.     

Ahhhhh - bike week - the memories - the hang-overs and the looooong ride back to Pa.  Those were the days!     

Well written Jan, you made this old war horse tear up thinking about those lost to cancer.  Life goes on and we're none the wiser until we stop and really listen to  other people.     

Definitve proof - Bill is actually Joe Cocker!  Loved it Bill.     

Well done, and beautifuly played CG.  My stepdaughter is a classical pianist, I would have loved to hear the two of you play together.  I remember sitting with her while she played Moonlight Sonata.     [edited for spelling]

There are lots of amps that will fill your needs,  do you want a home practice amp or will you be performing inside or outside, do you want one with built in effects, new or used? and the list of questions you need to ask yourself goes on and on.  I don't perform so all I use is a small amp ($80.00 new) and I plug in "stomp boxes" for my reverb/delay effect. My guitars are acoustic/electric using a sound hole pickup on my main player and a bridge pickup on the 12 string.  Prices will vary greatly and the choices are endless. I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be along to help you learn more about amps, good luck and let us know what you decide and let me say, "happy new amp day" in advance.
