Hi Richard
I'm less than 4 years away from the big 60 and gave just re-discovered the joy of playing live again. Only local pub stuff but the buzz is nearly as god as sex!
I played ad gigged a lot in my youth then gave up due to young family and work.
Unfortunately, unlike you, I sold my gear (black early 70's Rickenbacker 4001 with rare chequered binding, Matamp 100w head and 2 Marshall 4x12 )
Anyway, enough regret about old gear I should have kept, keep it up and get out there and play live
Phil
