Janice & Bud...
Thank yas for the nice words!!! Bluegrass is not my strong genre. I never was real fond of the genre until I heard Alison Kraus and Nickel Creek. Also there was a group of short duration called NewGrass Revival. I love everything all them did and converted me to a fan.
I'm fortunate not to have arthritis anywhere in my body...no significant aches or pains. just this darned focal dystonia. In a couple of years, I probably won't be able to play at all. But, I'm giving it hell until then! Thanks again!
