I played alot for 25 years, became a single father to a little girl 20 years ago (while raising 3 teenagers) and slowed live gigs way down (kept recording a bit whenever asked).Daughter entering 3rd year of college, I'm semi-retired and decided it was time to polish up the old equipment, bought some new stuff and ready to play again.
