but the Christmas gifts and Birthday gifts and Graduation gifts and Confirmation gifts for my nieces and nephew have come to an abrupt end
Oh well, I'll just remember to leave them in my will. They have a long wait though as I plan to live to 140 so I can master both instruments.... (Dave has promised to be around...to give me lessons...
)
I saw that instrument on FQ's site...very nice...i guess the axe is gonna go bye bye! You traded your axe for a hatchet! We lost another guitar player! Meantime, utilize controlled breathing techniques....like Lamaze.....count to 10 slowly....1001, 1002,1003, 1004......
