I'm not sure what has moved Bill from participating, I'm hoping its not his or Dondra's health, but I know I sure miss his posts.
Hope he returns soon

I had never heard of them before - very good musicians.  Great song

Thanks for the enlightenment 

Jim

For a minute there I thought the song was
Amy, take me home.

I am hopeful that everything in your life begins to travel down a path of newfound happiness and meaning.
We all have crosses to bear and problems to resolve, and it certainly is easier if you have a support system of friends and family.
Wishing you the best in your recovery . remember that the greatest journeys that ever happened began with a first step.
Just like getting a new guitar - which I know you excel at-  may your first steps be those of excitement and joy - in celebration of a new beginning.
Change is not always easy - but stick to your goals - you can do it!
I am sure I speak for all the Chordie members on here-  we wish you nothing but the best !
peace, prayers,  and warm regards for you

Jim
