Well, Jac, in some ways 2 years seems like an eternity at our age, but it other ways it flies by in the blink of an eye. I'll try to keep stayin' 2 ahead of you! I will say that age has affected my picking speed. I'm pretty much toast on Foggy Mtn. Breakdown these days, altho I can hold my own on frailing. Luckily, John still has great chops and he flies on the banjo.
