ShakeyChops

Following the suggestion to introduce myself. Peace and pleasures to all. Well, I'm a 50+ who has been playing off and on for 40+ years (last 25 years off). The love and dedication is back since I have a little financial freedom and single again Anyway working the old stuff from the beginngs (Arbans, etc.) and college (Berklee class of "79") and getting back to sitting in and jamming locally, as well as working with a commercial band which has been very challenging and motivating. Who knows this time I'll stick to it maybe until my end. Funny the things that come easy when you don't have pressure from any direction. Peace

Welcome, ShakeyChops! No pressure is great, but you need just a wee bit to keep the seal on your mouthpiece. Fun!

ComeBackKid

Hello ShakeyChops - Welcome to TM. You are in a very large 'club' here - the comeback player's club. Your story is basically the story of all of us. Our reasons for returning may vary slightly but the sense of returning to something vaguely missing from our lives for years is the same for all of us. Most of us have our Arban's book out and are struggling through it again. Many of us have joined a band, ensemble, or orchestra of some type to get us out of the woodshed. So, be sure to visit often and learn from the masters here and contribute when you can and ask lots of questions. That's how we've all learned.
Good Luck.
