My old friend. Who knows if she and I will ever make music together again? Somehow it seems that whatever "music" I had within me has died and left me with nothing left to play or create, just the memories of old times and old friends.

Pat says to put it on pickup position #4, clean setting on the amp, with midrange cranked up. Let rip with some old blues riffs, and then tell me you can't create!
Cool shot, BTW!

I so feel your emotions in regards to your music. It seems that your creative flow has found its way into the photography arena. I'm hoping I can one day experience the same transformation.

This photo is as elegantly sentimental as your musings, Paul. Pick her up, be good to her, and I think she'll surprise you. :)

I love this foto . . . but the sentiments are soooo sad. I own several instruments. None do i know how to play. I wish for the knowledge, the talent. I ache for it sometimes. It skipped a generation. My son can play, when he wants to. My father never took a lesson, but he could play piano, accordion, fiddle & banjo. I feel slighted, rejected. PLEASE pick her up . . .just to placate someone who can't!

Paul, just pick it up. Plug it in, carress it, strum on the strings, give it an hour each day, and you will create and be, once again hooked! You make such beautiful music! Your friend misses you! Play her!! Create with her!!! Beautiful photo! :)

Very pretty, Paul. I feel that way about my film camereas lately!

Very nice photo of your old friend. I feel this way about both my cello and my violin -- I feel they're both better left as memories of something I used to enjoy. -- angela :)
