That might be a worthwhile thing though, you may find a few
pearls among all those oysters..    B)

Of course if you never get rid of anything they will sure
add up after a while. I sort of did that with computer parts..

Yes, that's always fun. Our main local radio station in this
area mostly play songs that are anywhere from 20 to 50 years
old, and what's funny is I don't notice. I don't think, Oh that's
an old song!.. To me it's just what I've heard most of my life..

Maybe that's just a symptom of old age.. when I do hear music that
is new, I don't much like most of it..
The stuff I do like is usually more quiet, story type songs or
a group that sounds more like the old ones. Like one of the groups
that I like is Nickelback, but they sound more like an 80's group
than the newer music..

RM> I often play my guitar a couple of hours a day while watching
RM> TV but I don't play music other than when on the computer.

JA>I don't play my guitar nearly enough... I have two that stay
  >at church (a six and a 12) and at least three more acoustics
  >at home. I play every service at church, but lately haven't
  >had a chance to just pull one out and play at home...

I never played in a place like a church.. I played some in
various schools when young and, one time, I played on a float
in a town parade..

Living alone, I can pluck away on the guitar while watching TV
without bothering anyone else in the room.
I usually seem to need to be doing 2 things at once or my mind
wanders and I'll miss things on the TV show..   B)

JA>Before my wife started having so much physical issues, she
  >liked to drive, so I would take my 'travel' size guitar on the
  >road with us. Small enough that I could sit in the passenger
  >seat and hold it - I'd play - we'd sing - she's drive. Everyone
  >was happy! LOL

That would be nice.. Unfortunate that it's no longer possible.
