Guitar Aquisition Syndrome.  Just means that you are always looking for a new guitar.  Symptoms include excitement, loss of sleep, nervousness, wanting to talk about it with anyone who will listen and traveling long distances to any music store within 200 miles just to see what they have and spending long periods of time on the internet looking at pictures of guitars and reading reviews.

Glad to hear you enjoyed it toots.  Keep on rollin'

I've tried various distances to no avail.  My voice sounds alright, but the guitar kind of sounds like a uke.  I just ordered an external mic.  We'll see if that helps.  I think I will try it furher away

I will probably start with some old simple country tunes.  I have the most fun with Hank Williams.  There are a lot of songs in my notebooks, so if the first one or two come out decent, then I'l go for many more.  Some old Bee Gees tunes and maybe some Dion and the Belmonts and This Magic Moment by Jay and the Americans.  I have a ton of them.  LIke when I play for others, I start out slow, then I get so much into it, I try to play everything.  I really don't want to build this up so much that people expect better than I can give.  I'm just a simple strummer and singer.

Thanks dino.  I have a ways to go to be as good as Russell.  You got to start somewhere I suppose, so I will start very simple and step up a level later on if I like what I see.

Here is the idea and some cameras available with the YouTuve upload.  I haven't checked any of them yet.

That's good Phill.  I like it.  I am also 60 and I feel as if that applies to me as well.   Probably applies to a lot of us.  We've been to hell and back and yet somehow we are just getting started.  Hang in there my friend.  Lets carry on our music for another couple of decades.

Very good, ray.  Did you just use a regular video camera?  I want to do the same thing one day.

I figured you would.  I got to thinking afterwards and thought I would explain so there would be no one, saying, That bensonp sure has a brass set."  Or something like that.

Lets face it Zurf.  You're a loser. Keep up the good work and good luck reaching those goals.

Good luck Nela
