Hi Wayfarer, thanks, this was me at my best 5 years ago, before I got sick .

I was at my best (on electric guitar anyway) about 30 years ago. . .before I got old and just about forgot how to play.  But I'm slowly getting my chops back.
 
Incidentally, the only degenerative disease I have is arthritis in my back, and I'm hoping it doesn't get much worse if any. (I'm prepared to get super skinny if I have to!) But I have a good friend who had MS and it actually went into remission--something that almost never happens with MS. Just saying that you never know what the future will hold. Well, except death and taxes. . .and crooks running the world, but that's a given. 

Hey Rik - I don't know anything about behavior issues, I didn't see anything.  But I have known about you having problems with degenerative disease and I am very glad you're still able to produce such beautiful music!  
 
this is incredibly beautiful!  thanks for sharing!

Hi Wayfarer, thanks for the kind words.
 
Hi Beagle, well nothing to dramatic, just erratic ; ).  This was me BEFORE I got sick, I can't play like this anymore, this is sort of a goodbye to the player I once was. I'm going to continue to make some noise one way or the other, just not like this piece. ; )
