Brass should be mandatory. LOL.

I learned brass at 53. Best thing I ever did.

And I took piano accordion for 3 years, and piano for 6 months.

My wife took piano for most of her life up to 23, and has 2 music degrees from a famous university. Makes for some great arguments. Not to mention she has a teaching degree too. Great. Then my oldest has all the degrees. Just don't argue with him, he seems to turn anyone into a bowl of jello. Odd that.

Monday might work itself out, but it seems a bigger meltdown looms. I can still hunt and trap, have the 5000 acres I need, and I know there are at least 40 beaver and 25 or so otters, along with fish, ducks, geese, and all the partridge I'd ever need. And enough wood for about 200 years, and I can cut it, burn it, sell it...

Don't lose the faith, but have a backup plan.
