There's a chap lives down my street who's been playing guitar from his early teens. Now in his 70s, he plays golf most days and plays with his band most evenings. As a mere youngster of 68 and a half, you people are an inspiration and make me glad I finally knuckled down over the last 3 years, rather than going the "can't teach an old dog" route. I can now look forward to many years of enjoyment, which I would have missed if I'd decided it was too late to bother!
(Maybe that old guitar would fund a younger, less delicate replacement).
