I just realized, as I began to post here, that I have been playing guitar for nearly forty years! I suppose I should be able to claim proficiency on some other instrument by now, as there are many which interest me. However, such is not the case. (Unless you count singing, which, for me, is practically one and the same as playing the guitar.) I have a small collection of instruments which sit and wait for me to finally decide to learn to play them. Meanwhile, they bide their time by occasionally gracing the hands of visitors and guests. My current desire is to acquire a stand-up bass. I played one briefly many years ago and would love to do so again.
