Very envious reading these posts.

Soulman you may remember our discussing my 2 guitars (now, ashamedly, in the loft) A Washburn acoustic and a blue Stratocaster.
Sadly, the arthritis in my hands dictated that my strumming days (I do mean strumming - the House of the Rising Sun etc)) are over.

Both our sons are musical with the elder (Canada) having a band some years ago. (Drums, Keyboard and Vocals) I like to fraudulently claim they got in from me !

In all sincerity, I was brought up in a house that had an old piano. I did similarly with our 2 sons both of whom played the piano because it was there, which gave them the spark of musical interest.
