April 22, 201213 yr Thanks, Ron. It's really refreshing and helpful for a younger person like me to see an older person's life experiences summed up like this in an introduction post! I see you are an author, do you write music as well?
January 17, 201313 yr Author I used to write songs, when I played the guitar from the 1960s to the 2000s, but not any more. Belated apologies for taking 9 months to reply, Howdjadoo!
