I considered surgery but from everything I've heard its a risky proposition, particularly for us "older" guys
Mine will be non invasive surgery by a very skillful surgeon - former student of mine. I trust him.
Thanks,

Thanks for describing your musical background, Mark. What I don’r see, or may have missed, is any description of playing out. Were you in any bands (successful or otherwise)? I’m a bit younger than you - Beatles-inspired bass player - who came late to jazz, and still gigging. IMHO, it’s the live performance that makes it all worthwhile.

I played in HS & Grammar school bands. At 14, a few friends and I started a Dance Band. I played in dance bands and small night club bands for many years. Truly loved those experiences.
Thanks for your interest!

Several years ago my neighbor Frank who is a generation older than I am got me listening to 40s Junction on Sirius radio. Today I am a big fan of Vaughn Monroe, Harry James, Charles Trenet, Bea Wain/Larry Clinton and many more.

I feel sorry for today's teenagers who will be able to look back in fifty years at today's rap efforts and say "That's good old music from my youth"

My grandfather said similar about the popular music from the 50 - 60’s music.
