Right said fred, I'm too sexy for my shirt

Hé bonedaddy, you are so right, it was an end of a life indeed. I should have been "statistically" dead in September 2000, but I re-started my job in July 2001, with more energy than 1980, when I started to work as a MD.
What almost never happens, happened to me.
1) you grow older together with your patients
2) having a lot of work, followed by the crash and almost 1 year inactivity, it is almost impossible to start it over.
In my case 1) and 2) didn't happen. Patients (75% 15-25 years younger) and within 3 years again too much work. So yes, in fact since end 2004, you can speak of a new beginning. I just CAN'T ACCEPT IT. Adapting yes, if possible.
Strange, I was convinced that I wrote some extra lines, but I admit, it happens that you forget to push on SUBMIT. And this is sometimes catastrophic, all that work for nothing.

The end, or better, next strophes have, for once I am happy with my lyrics, because right there at that dam, that's why I call it DAM-ned, I realised that it was over.
All those years, being a generalist, and as told on that place, I realised suffering real hard, I do know what pain is now, that I
- hated to return
- afraid, scared and knowing my faith
- this dam is still today, considered by me as THE END of a life.
I will write another 4 lines

- Ken Goodwin = Wooden King
- Lieven Philips = Penis Hive Pill
- gitaardocphil = Coital Digraph, Radical Hot Pig

Daddy, I hope you can still stand and use your bones when 120 years young.
CONGRATULATIONS, and may the "Lord" have mercy.

2) What "feeling" did you have being 40?
3) I suffered a lot when 30 years old, and now: this was the most fantastic time I ever had.

Being European, not living in the UK, Scotland, Ireland, there are about 50% of artists and bands I don't know at all. I see these names quit often. Like who is the best, what is an easy song to play?
like John Prine, Jake Burns, Joe Shaver.
This is what I love about chordie, I can see and hear them on myspace, youtube.

I wrote 2 names of Belgium artists:
1) FIXKES
2) ARNO with or without his former band: 2 fantasic songs Oh la la la, and DANS LES YEUX DE MA MERE. (IN THE EYES OF MY MOTHER)
Check it out, you will do me a great favour, even if you don't understand the lyrics. If needed, I will try to translate them, using a new Topic, Belgium bands + translation

Texan4ut, I do agree with you. I play since 30 years and what started as some fun, is now a passion.
Here is my timeline
- 30 years, an acoustic, with an electric element, I was convinced to become a "guitar god"
- in 1977, I was still a student, med school, for another 3 years, playing guitar dropped  to 5%
- Army, no guitar.
- Having a lot of work, a lousy guitar, and broken too, I played occasionaly
- 1990: a new start, buying a gibson LP studio, incredibly cheap, black, you could see your face reflected, golden hardware. 400$ right from a big boss, a very good friend, of the customs at the airport. Couldn't be sold because of some scratches, bought 2 of them and sold the other for 600$.
- Sold my Gibson studio, to buy a PRS Custom 24, an unknown guitar in 1996, except by some professionals, too expensive. That guitar was a 1993 PRS, and 6 months old, because the band splitted. PRS minus Gibson = 600$ to pay.
- 1995; first acoustic, a Martin HD-28 for 750$ from a junkie needing money
- the rest is history
I started to collect, and started to play more and more, today, I am able to play at least 50 different chords, and playing was FUN, and practice SWITCHING CHORDS.
If you know some chords, switch, switch and switch + learn more chords.
