Hey Miss T-bird! Don't even think about quitting! Forty years ago I had to stop playing with a pic, because of arthritis in my thumbs. So, you go with the flow. I re-learnt to play with my fingers, and in a short while I never thought about playing with a pic again. So, do not worry. It's all gonna change for the better. And, concerning age, forget it. In three years time I'll turn into the next-next phase before it's time for the big one - one hundred! Rehearsed with my rock band tonite. Our drummer is only sixty, so he can still shuffle out the shuffle without problems. Stuff like Junior's wailing suits me just fine. Pinball wizard goes down well. Keep on keeping on! Don't look back!
