78. Music keeps you young!!!

Fri Sep 19, 2025, 02:19 PM

Sep 19

No foolin, I just took another shot this morning at the "Rock 2", at 76, a bit simplified (by me). And when I get half decent at it, I have a "music minus one" recording with just the orchestra. It is a great concerto.

STAY YOUNG!

Everyone here!
