LIFE
Whew, 40 years?  Who knew.  But, that should have given us enough time to figure out some answers to nagging questions such as:  Why does the chicken cross the road?  If a tree falls in the forest and then suddenly springs back up as a joke, do the squirrels freak out?  And what is the answer to the question, life, the universe and everything?
Anyway, it's still about the music for me.  I play bass in the Salina area for the local community theater, the local Symphony, a small college Easter festival of music and arts, various church-related services (I'm a non-denominational musician and play for everyone) and various groups needing proficient bass players.  I have bass students from time to time and perform frequently with a violist at coffee shops, schools, community centers, nursing and assisted living residences.  I also re-hair and restore violin, viola, cello and bass bows for a local music store and Symphony players as well as providing tennis and racquetball restringing services in Salina since 1979.

I've gone to war, been merged/acquired, empty-nested, sandwich generationed, hip-hopped and price-gouged, but life is still good!  May we indeed live long and prosper.
