I make an effort to coordinate 2 hands, never mind 10 fingers and a foot pedal. I watched young kids play but they had instruction since they were like 3 years old.
Watched 2 of the grandkids over the weekend while the parents went to visit friends out in Nashville. We picked them up Friday afternoon at school and brought them home Sunday evening. The parents were due in at the airport at 9 PM, delayed of course and didn’t walk in the door until 1:30 AM. We skipped out and got home 2:45. We would have stayed there except wifey had a 8:30 AM doctor appointment.
No. 1 grandson learned how to play the piano watching YouTube instruction. He uses all 10 fingers too. Mostly classical piano. Show him sheet music and he can read it. He learns the keys bit by bit and recalls the entire song from memory.
That’s quite an array of vintage gear, and probably worth a few bucks to collectors. I tried a tonette in grade school. I’ve had a bad ear since I was little and couldn’t play in tune.
2000 Gibson Les Paul Special — Solid Mahogany — Great player! Case included! $1,050
This is an example of the greatness that comes out of the Gibson shop. It has a few dings here and there, but they don’t take away from the guitar at all. The frets are in very good condition with hardly any wear at all! The rosewood fretboard is silky and dark with tight, straight grain — a very nice pick of wood for this particular guitar. Hardshell case is included!
The stock Gibson pickups are warm, with highlighted highs… they have a sort of hot sparkly quality to them.
Again, there are a few dings, but this guitar sounds and plays so good you’ll swear it was straight from the 50s!

I seem to recall you mentioning a Les Paul. I don’t know if the link will work, but here goes.
There is also a Gibson SGJ for sale.
I haven’t had good luck with soaker hoses. Maybe I don’t have enough water pressure.
There are a ton of great areas in TN that are close to cities but offer what you seek. You’d have lots of new travel destinations. We had been thinking about the Charleston SC area and were considering renting a small apartment for a year to see if we would like it. In the end, my daughter had number 4 and wifey wanted to help out and then daughter had number 5. She finally came to the conclusion South Carolina would be too far.
94 on Wednesday, topped out at 58 today with a nonstop dribble of rain all day, 1/4″ It’s going to be a crummy weekend with more rain. 2 families of kids are coming down and we haven’t a clue how to entertain them all if it rains for 2 days.
I broke down and bought a used Cub Cadet lawn tractor last March. It’s 2006 with 500 hours but had been sitting in some old guy’s garage for 10 years. I had to replace the tires and seat, then a tuneup, oil change and new belts. I turned the key and nothing. I was able to a new ignition switch, and vroom it started right up, but the blades wouldn’t kick on. Found a new PTO switch and vroom the blades are cranking. Then new blades and new LED headlights. All in for about $25 bucks. I didn’t mind the walk behind mower, but it couldn’t handle the fall leaves, and I burned far too much time raking and blowing leaves. Now I can just suck them up. We have but one tree that drops leaves, but we get most of the leaves blown by the wind from an adjacent street. This town has a rake out program where you load up the leaves at the curb and the town comes around picks them up. All of the leaves within a block end up at our place because of the wind direction.
Ronda Rousey is one nasty biotch. Today will be the 3rd day in the 90’s, 5th +85. We get a break tomorrow as it wont pass 65 as a bunch rain moves in. This is the earliest I’ve ever seen my lawn start to brown out.
Diesel can be quirky for sure. Burning almost $2K to keep it running is a ridiculous cost for $400 part. They must have taken advantage after seeing your license plate. I’m looking forward to seeing the outcomes of the team trials. We could be seeing the changing of the guard in some of the weight classes.
I haven’t been able to login for quite a while. Finally, success and here I am. Th roof took 4 days and fortunately those weather guessers were wrong. The roof is done and looks great. The fiberglass should last a long time with a topcoat every 7-10 years.
Any day at the beach is a good day. It’s been in the 60’s of late but yesterday we 74 and today it’ll be in the 80’s. Looks like that warm weather has made its way east.
Roofer came yesterday and ripped off the existing deck. He started laying new plywood but got halfway through. Now I’m getting antsy. Rain is expected tomorrow and he’s got to finish the plywood, prime it and lay down the fiberglass in time for it to cure before covering the edges all before it rains. I’m hoping those weather guessers are wrong once again. I don’t feel lucky on this one.
Yeah, 65 KG was crazy, a complete flip from NCAAs.
NCAA – 133, Jax beat Davino who beat Blaze
USSN – 61KG/134LB Blaze beat Davino who beat Jax.Who will we see up at 141 next season?
The Rutgers recruit Anthony Knox, came in 3rd at 57. He’s got a murky background. He was a 3 time state champ and picked upma controversial 4th title last year. At the district tournament His father got into a an argument with o[pposing parents. Knox left the sideline and went up into the stands and ended up in a fight. He and his father got arrested. The state athletic association DQ’d him for the regional tournament. His father sued the state and won a stay of the association ruling for 2 weeks. That was enough time for Knox to win the region qualifier and the state tournament. He committed to Cornell and was taking a grey shirt up there practicing at the regional training center up there while his arrest moved through the court. All of sudden, mid fall, it gets announced that he decommitted Cornell and signed on with Rutgers. No other coaches knew he was opting out of Cornell. Rutgers recruited him heavily before he committed to Cornell. The backstory is that Coach Goodale heard from a friend that Knox wasn’t enjoying the environment up there and got word to his father that Rutgers remained
interested. Within 24 hours he decomitted and signed on with Rutgers with a $250000 NIL deal. Cornell could not pay him a dime under Ivy rules.I don’t think the Medicare rules have changed so you can stay on an employer’s healthcare plan until you retire. It’s probably worthwhile to compare the costs as it may be cheaper to remain with your employer plan for you and your wife. Unless she qualifies for Medicare or has access to a private plan, you’ll have to find her coverage also is opt out of the employer plan. That half could get a little pricey. When you compare with Medicare keep in mind you’ll likely need 4 separate plans to matchup with what you get from your employer.
Medicare covers hospital care and is free
Medicare Part B covers out of hospital care, clinics, doctor office visits, etc. It should cost under $200 per month.
Pharmacy plan. Medicare doesn’t cover pharmacy. The cost has been increasing every year. 5 years ago I paid $50 per month, now it’s over %100 for matching the coverage I had with my employer.
Medicare Care Advantage, Medicare B only covers 80%. An Advantage Plan provides an out of pocket limit on cost.
