Good points HearToLearn : )

I was always inspired to learn guitar in-part to play the music I loved. Now, I could just teach people my age - and that would solve the problem.

And you hit the nail - I recognized I am "locked" and stuck in my era - this is actually very common for a bunch of very real and good reasons. But I would like to break out myself. Start sharing your favorites that are <10 years old please !!! Or might you be stuck also ?

And I'll open my mind to the country guys also. Actually - I love bluegrass, and I find 'modern country' superficial - but maybe I'm not listening to the right guys.
