Hi Al... didn't mean to sound superior.
But I think the simple life might suit most people better than the rat race?
I've got an old kiso suzuki which I bought for a tenner years ago, and it still looks and sounds great.....I mean the tone, not the poor attempts I make at playing!

But being able to play a few tunes which are recognisible, is one of my joys. I am always amazed that I can manage it.

One things for sure the template of the last few decades is broken and we all must change our outlook on life.
We have to start dismantling the wasteful....and criminal capitalist system now. but we are still being assured by politicians and "liberals" that it can be fixed!

Perhaps we need another Thatcher....hopefully of a different political persuasion....   :0)
