Nothing important, but happy birthday to some warrior saint here about to reach 70 years old. Forgot who you are, but only about 4 years behind you. As long as the dream is alive, all is ageless.
 
Idle curiosity, about how we deal with the new latest and greatest in the passage of time beyond the hard on excitement of the moment. One example, and a really good software.
 
MidiGuitar from JamOrigin.
 
Old thread hailed this as critical as the second coming of Allah. Slobbering excitement, me included.
 
Visionary vst for sure, but I seem to have let this pass into the hoarding pile. Not using it much, as good as it is.
 
Just curious if Midi Guitar still causes the stars to tremble and if the original fervor has followed forward into the here and now.

70 is the new 50.

5 years to go to hit that milestone.  Got my Medicare card, though. It is a conversation piece right now. As I've said before, getting older is inevitable, but immaturity can last forever...

Funny how in the American culture you go thru certain milestones past the excitement of getting to your 21st birthday. The ability to go into a liquor store for a legal purchase.
 
There was the first time I wasn't carded for buying beer. Then more and more times til nobody asks to see your drivers license any more. I used to buy beer at a Safeway store because there was a girl there who carded me every time.
 
Then, way before your actual age, you start getting AARP ads in the mail. Makes you stop and think briefly.
 
I still remember the first time in a Starbucks when the lady asked me if I was old enough for a senior discount. Made me stop and think longer. Went into a restroom and looked in a mirror...Wondered if it was her eyesight or mine that was bad.
 
I found for me, once I hit 60, it all came with a bit of humor. AARP mailings, coupons for adult diapers and denture paste. Mailings for life insurance even for old people with no medical exam. Got the bird cage covered with reverse mortgage ads.
 
Good I had a sense of humor, because the crowning achievement is when you start getting prepaid cremation offers. Pay now, die later.
 
Only downside, or one of the downsides is that the more you go through time, the faster time passes. Pink Floyd had something to say about this.
 
Best to all the young and old out there,
 
John

Reality checks are about the only ones I pick up anymore.

Kenny,
 
Taking this opinion from an excellent guitarist, credible thumbs up. By the way, very smooth tele sounds. Nice jazz riffs. Organ sounds only remotely like a guitar, and this is hard to do. Nice job.

Only one way to avoid getting older.

Prunes?
 
 
 
I just love Midi Guitar......a guitarists synth dream (no stars were hurt in making these sounds).

Yup , if your single and you got lots of bucks , you can always Date younger women so you can feel the rush of what it feels like to be young again ..
 
Oh well , at least I got the  single part down . 
 
Well, it's time for me to go and take all my loose change over to the supermarket to buy a box of Prunes . 
I recently learned that trick on "how to stay young and avoid getting older" from Mesh 
thanks Mesh
