Depends on what I'm playing. For jazz, blues, and heavy rock, the Ibanez. Acoustic blues and writing songs in general, the 6-str Yamaha. I like the 12-str for strummy stuff, it sounds like a choir of angels. The Strat is a good all-round guitar, I use it for blues, pop, and R&B.

OK. How about which one(s) do you play most often?

Toss-up between the Ibanez and the 6-str acoustic.

Still playing local in a band?

Nah, haven't played out in a few years, maybe 2019 was my last project, but then mom's husband got brain cancer, and since his death in Jul 2020, I've got bigger fish to fry. I appreciate your interest and sorry if my replies are dry. She's entering dementia of some sort and my sister and myself don't really have the time for much of the old pastimes. I don't play as much as I'd like any more, but hey, them's the breaks.

I remember the husband passing but didn't recall you talking about your mom's dementia. Condolences. Both my mom and stepmom went thru it at the end so I definitely know you've got your hands full. Best of luck!

It's only really started to unfold in the last 18 months or so. Nothing personal, but rather than go further I'll just express my gratitude for your well-wishes. In all honesty, thanks.
