It is good to hear from you Eddie. It also looks like you have made some decisions about stuff you own in the music world.
Getting older and less capable on many levels is not the most plesent thing that we go through.
I just spent six days in the horsepistil wondering if I would die. Serious infection. Well, I guess I am to ugly to die and I am slowely recovering.
I made a decision some time ago to "live every day" until I die. If I get to the point I can not walk I will build a 327 Chevy V Eight wheel chair...lol If I go blind I will learn to play the piano better.

Man, I got a lot of music stuff. I don't "need" any of it. I still want to keep a few things because I still like to play my guitar no matter how stupid it sounds. I am done doing anything musical that has any importance to anyone including me.

Not to long ago I built a really great sounding Supro style tube amp. I have played it for a sum total of perhaps ten minuits. I would love to sell all this stuff but I don't even know where to start. Reverb?
What is more valueable to me at the moment is time. Everyone wants money no matter how much you have. I will take the proceeds from the sales but I am not jumping through a hoop to get them.

I have no kids, I did not get here with anything and I will not take anything with me when I die.
It has been fun, it has been real, it just has not been real fun at times. I am not in a hurry to go but I can assure you I will not miss this planet. Shorter of breath and one day closer to death as the song goes.
It has been fun knowing you Eddie. Perhaps we will both be around for a good little bit.
Best wishes,

Billy
