This is me, my son and daughter-in-law on You Tube.

I know it's not brilliant but there is nothing better than making music with ones family...

Oh wow CT, that's fantastic. It made me feel good watching that footage and seeing you and your lovely family looking so happy and comfortable around each other. What a lovely family, I envy you. Playing the guitar was always something that I regret never doing. I actually owned about half a dozen guitars way back in the 70's but never got serious when it came to learning how to play them, there was always something more important going on. Typical of me really, I found it difficult to concenrate on anything, except the beautiful girls of the time. I've collected vinyl records through the years but not too seriously though. I did acquire a part-collection that used to belong to a DJ in Sheffield and among the records are a few demos that have never been played but the trouble is that they don't have labels on. Who knows, there could be a rare recording among them, ha-ha. My main hobby over the last 25 years has been oil painting. I started doing the Bob Ross method, "wet on wet" which was very pleasing and fairly easy to do, but then I saw what Michael James Smith was doing and switched to his style of doing landscapes and although my efforts aren't anywhere near as good as his, they gave me great satisfaction at the results. The last two years have left me depressed and not wanting to do any more painting, all down to my wife walking out on me and not giving a reason as to why. I'm still searching for answers but I may never find any.
