1st time in over a year......

[David Hartley]

I played my steel yesterday for the first time in over a year.
A break was needed.
I remembered how to play it too so that was good news.

[David Hartley]

Happy birthday to me today, 57. Yikes...!

[Tom Gorr]

Happy Birthday David ! Welcome back to the "seat"...


PS, I took 8 years off in the 90's, it played havoc on my hands and fingers but my entire approach changed, it was like I was starting from scratch but already had a Degree in Steel guitar !
