Shut in is a state of mind - as long as you're out there, even virtually, singing and playing, you're not a true shut in.

At least you're doing something. The worst type of person is the one who sits on the edge of sessions whining into their beer croaking 'I used to be able to do that'. Makes me want to slap 'em and say 'find something else to do with them then', even if it's the shaky egg!
