thanks for the encouragment ember and sorry to hear about your failing sight. some positive progress. the new smaller guitar is easier to hold but the neck is wider and shallower than the d35 that i've been playing since the early 70s. i don't think i'll ever get used to the modern martin necks but i'm trying.

not practicing as much as i need to but things are geting better. don't think i'lll ever be as good as i was again but things are improving.
