Subject: RE: Living without guitar, can it be done?
Oh Allan I sure feel for you! Yes, it can be done. Will you be happy about it? Welllll....maybe eventually, maybe not.
I haven't been able to keep up piano for almost a decade now due to wrists. So far if I do warm-ups I can get by for a while playing stringed things. But mostly I've gone over to a cappella singing. Having spent many hours around voices tuning to make chords ring, now the tempered scale of the piano sounds out-of-tune to me, I never expected that! But I still miss it.

I might summarize this way: the loss was awful until I became fully absorbed in the new adventure. I recently joined an a cappella quartet and I'm having more musical fun than I ever knew was possible!
