Reading a few of Gary’s posts from days gone by....treating his pain from hauling equipment as best he could so he could continue to play....got me thinking.

My right hip is shot...hasn’t been good for a number of years....going back to my 40’s...I’m late 60’s now...70 in a couple of years.

Hip replacement is scheduled for next month but I don’t know if that will change anything.

I love to play but hauling music equipment...even with a cart is a challenge. It aint the weight of a single piece but many pieces over many gigs that is the issue. And my wife, who is soon to be 65, doesn’t see herself as a roadie. 😁

But then, retiring, or slowing down is tough.

As a friend of mine said. “It ain’t the dying that I’m afraid of....it’s the livin from here on out that scares me.”

Too dramatic?

Thoughts?
