Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.

I was brought up Catholic so it’s not religion

Re: I'm retiring from charity work.
Well you've got to have the skill set to be able to play at least 50 songs from beginning to end which is something surprisingly few guitar players can do.
Congratulations on your retirement Bruce! You need to find yourself some casual bluegrass pickers that are happy to play at the opening of a bottle of whiskey!

Return to my roots, you reckon?

Re: I'm retiring from charity work.
Yesterday I sat down and in a leisurely fashion, worked my way through a box of Cassels Lucky 6. It's an excellent selection of beers and as the afternoon wore on and I contemplated no longer playing cliche pop songs to pissed punters, a warm glow of contentment settled upon me.
Though it might have been the beer.

Re: I'm retiring from charity work.
There's something very special about playing with others for the sheer joy of it, no pressure to gig. Traditional music lends itself well to that situation. The players working their way through a bottle of scotch only helps the proceedings.

Re: I'm retiring from charity work.
I've played a bit of Bluegrass over the years and I have a love of Celtic as well. Some of my favourite musical memories are of jamming in these genres.
My other (now only) band is about the simple pleasures of jamming, writing and refining while enjoying good companionship at the end of the week.
While it lasts, it'll do nicely.

Re: I'm retiring from charity work.
You've summed up my Wednesday nights quite nicely there, even down to the scotch.
