Easier said than done. I'm just as old and decrepit as you; I'm just not about predicting my imminent demise....I'm going to wait and see. Who knows, they may suddenly come up with a miracle cure for old age and bad attitudes . Quite a few of us will benefit from that.

BTW, loved Larry's story about his father's musical journey. Precious memories. As to his search for the 'perfect' studio desk, I'm with you, in that the only way to get that is to build it yourself....plus, it'll probably end up being cheaper. Home Depot, 2x2's, 2x3's, paneling/luan/plywood, coner moulding, and a good design (the fun part - just copy the best features of all the 'store-bought ones) and off you go. Expect a few bruises, smashed thumbs, and curse words you didn't even know were in your vocabulary, but in the end you'll have the pride of creating a masterpiece.....OR...the bewilderment of why you ever undertook this insane project that produced this monstrosity.
