Great thoughts, everyone!
"Pretty good" is all about perspective, isn't it? When it comes to music, the measure of worth can be seen from different angles. I play music regularly with a few friends. We're not great, by any measure. Pretty good might even be a stretch. But we keep playing and we keep trying and I don't think there's a band anywhere that has more fun than we do! I bought a card for us the other day that said, "We have WAY more fun than it really makes sense to be having!" Any "pretty good" that can bring happiness is great!

I know a woman in her 80's whose body is giving out on her. Every day, when I ask her how she's doin', she thinks for a moment, then responds, with a tiny hint of surprise in her voice, "Pretty good!"

Jerry, thanks for the info on Richard Farnsworth. I've seen him in a few movies and always loved the guy. (I've never said that about any Hollywood celebrity, by the way, but there was something special about that guy). I've been "looking" for some of his works lately, but didn't know his name, so didn't get very far. Much obliged.
