Thanks fellas. TJ, it us not all bucker, it is a mix of pups. When I go bridge I tend to roll off tone to cut the ice pickiness. As for the band, I miss it in some ways but not others. Finding the 10 to 2 shows pretty tough at my advanced age. We had a real good run of pretty much 10 years. Kinda like an old car ... Just slowly ran out of momentum. No adversity or theatrics, just enough. Not sure what is next. Focusing on trying to keep my limited skills from deteriorating further. Making a study of learning the line 6 helix, which could take a long time but is worth it. Appreciate your asking. Hope you're playing and gigging is going well.
