Well today I reached 60 and my bones sure for the age I must say. It is getting harder to play the banjo like I would like to but I still keep trying. I have taken up playing the guitar in earnest and must say I really like it a lot. Learning the cords is a challenge but I still like the flatpicking style and is coming along slow but sure. There are so many videos on you tube to help the learning so it is a little easier that way.
