hey Art. If you put an n and an a where your stars are, you get what you are full of.

I am sorry that your health has failed and I don't take my fine health for granted. I also work at it. The lifeline in my family is into their '90s.

so your philosophical waxing I will let you know is only wasting your precious time.

It has nothing to do with as you call it national security. It has to do with love of life, appreciation for what God has given me.

I don't have everything and I don't care. I have more than most, especially the ability every day to wake up to a wonderful wife, a great family and home, a fine career, and all of the great guitars I'll ever need. If you think I take ANY of that for granted you are sadly, and I mean very sadly in your case, mistaken.
