Many here have had to give up performing publicly due to health reasons. We all know Gary's story recently. I dissolved my band this year after realization I can't handle equipment, travel etc anymore after past back surgeries. Now that extends to solos after recurrent blood clot issues in leg that prevents me from extended sitting or standing.

Not an easy pill to swallow, and time to move equipment I don't need anymore. I'd like to hear from others who have faced this and how you made the transition from stage to home player easier.
