Think of this then. A few days ago in newspaper it showed a pic of a lady 106 years old, she had her first lesson in 2015 at year after she started playing so has been playing for over 100 years and still doing some nursing home gigs. There are other piano players over 100 on youtube but I dont think any other of them had played for a century !

That's how it was with Nana too. Played forever and never lost interest.
I have more tools than those before me and somehow still whine about my lack of comprehension reading manuals, or doing anything other than playing a keyboard.
Guess it's why I feel so at home by myself on a Piano, using all pedals too, since that never spoken of sostenuto is really our 3rd hand.

Now that I think about, the irony might be ahead of me as I am leaving Las Vegas.
I just hope to get into one of those modern Bluegrass bands where folks sing as shitty as the Grateful Dead and play their asses off just doing unpopluar cool music.

With my luck, some toothless nasty looking dame will stalk me from gig to gig yellin' Rocky Top instead of drunk yahoo's yellin' Freebird....

Ah, it's just the tortured soul of a performer.....

Dude, you're leaving Vegas?

Hope it's for good reasons...

Wherever the wind blows you (singing JJ Cale), hope it brings you down to land gently on a nice green bluegrassy place!

Take care man.

yeah, remarkably Jimmy!
If you're ready for it, it will do you good to leave.

I would go for a tribute rock band then.
Good musicions, work/mony, and good salary if the presentation is well.
good luck

Yes It's back east where Bluegrass and the best fishing spots can be found. Rivers are not creeks, they are over a mile wide.
Rural lifestyle has been a dream since childhood, I'll probably get bored, but I'll be by STL, Memphis, Nashville and Branson.
So if I change my mind, I can always go get yelled at by drunks in those towns.

I performed here since I was 20+ years old, tore it down, rebuilt it, and played in it all over again. Outlived the Mob too. it's the right time.

I will now punish the Hillbillies with Solaris, it should go over like a Reggea Band @ a Klan Rally. We'll see...


Ain't much trim where I'm going so that means I'll save thousands already.
I can barely understand the way people there talk.
We were eating Bison Steaks one night and I swore the waitress asked if I wanted Ass Water....? I was in shock but then noticed she was holding a frosty pitcher of water.

When they say Ice it sounds like ass, and the single syllable word yes, they use 2 syllables and pronounce it Yay-ess.

I might be leaving Vegas behind, but will dwell in the house of Scope and PlanetZ until I no longer dwell...

LMAO! yup it takes some getting used to the lingo here. I've been in East TN since 2007. Great place, good folk. Welcome home!
Vegas is a conundrum. Just spent last night there, it just keeps growing and growing. I kept imagining what the place will look like in a 100yrs.

Well you won't exactly be away from the action either.

Is XITE jnr going with u ?

In the South, headphones are your friend.

"Silent Oprey"

Punish 'em Jim. Smooth transition brother.

Scope and Solaris will take Nashville like Grant took Richmond.....

Aw hell no - think Sherman! William T. rollin' into town, riding a Sherman tank like Slim Pickens & screaming "Dawg will hunt!!" thru the loudspeaker.

Using Scope of course for maximum effect.


And what Wayne said 1000x.
