Hey Steve…..always glad to get your input on things. I keep thinking I’ll run into you again at Frank’s place, but that’s going to be pretty hard to do as I haven’t been up there since the Ketron demo.

I just looked at Ocala on the map, after I read your message. I wouldn’t mind relocating there as a few of my friends have already done so and I haven‘t seen them in years. None of them are interested in returning. They love it.

Then there are the seniors to play to…..an endless audience of grateful music lovers.

I know what you mean about housing prices in both Florida AND NC….Florida being the best value right now. My buddy said a gorgeous house across the street from him has been on the market for a year now and has been reduced to $30k. At that price you can buy one to live in and one to store your musical instruments.

But I never was a “sun-type” person. I’d live in the South Pole if I knew they sold Ketrons there. That’s one of the reasons I ruled out California and the rest of the Southern states. The heat and humidity is not good for me OR the equipment.

It looks like you’ve done your own research and you’re planning a move also. You mentioned: “gated 55 plus communities with swimming pools, golf courses, tennis and state of the art work out centers.” I could easily buy into that. Maybe if I think about it long enough, having to put sun tan lotion on every day is not so bad.

Sorry you can’t make any moves now, but the plus side of that is (having watched the real estate market for a while now) house prices look like they will continue to fall for another 1-2 years, particularly in Florida (but not so much in the Carolina‘s). They’ve nowhere hit rock bottom yet in the Sunshine state.

Lucky
