I don't quite have the energy for extra curricular activities. I have to pace myself a little bit more.
It's crazy how every guitarist is their own worst critic in many ways.
I'll play until they have to scrape me off the stage.
You know the puritan ethic that started out four centuries ago in this country, needless to say - at least for the moment - a thing of the past - from what I can tell.
