Sorry, Simon, the page count has been climbing faster than I can keep up, and only saw your question now. The answer is, yes. But some I play more often than not. The "Classic Rock II" pretty much stays in its case. On the other hand, I have less exotic guitars that I play all the time. It's funny, but I think many musicians wind up "bonding" with particular instruments. I know I have reach for favorites all the time. Here are my top choices currently. I'm on an acoustic guitar kick right now (but still learning and playing Clapton stuff).

Taylor GS Mini-e Koa. The Hawaiian wood just makes this guitar sound terrific, and the sounds goes on forever...



One of the pleasant surprises to my collection is this Ibanez hollowbody archtop AG95QA. For the low price asked, this guitar is built with top quality components and great sound.



My newest, and quickly becoming my favorite (even over the Taylor!), a Martin DJr-10E. Sapele wood (like mahogany) and Sitka Spruce. I upgraded the pins and saddle to bone for an even better sound.



And this surprise, a Breedlove Companion CE Copper Burst. I bought it as a toss-around guitar; throw it in the trunk and don't worry if the grandkids bump or bruise it. Little did I know how much I'd like playing it!

1975 I found myself in West Berlin with the U.S Air Force. Beautiful city and made lots of friends while there. Four in particular, a crazy British group belonging to the Grenadier Guards, Mick, Graham, Al & Reginald. We meet in a bowling ally and had a great time for about 3 years. After we left Berlin in 1981 we lost contact with our British friends. For 210 years (dog years) we tried to find them and dreamed of a reunion.
2011 Micks wife Patsy found my wife Renee on Facebook. Six months later they flew to St. Louis and we pick up right where we left off 30 years ago. A dream come true. Few years after that we found our way to London and their home in Hartlepool England.
Since then we've alternated every year for another reunion. Except for the last three years with this damn Covid crap.
We're hoping to return in 2023.

Have great and fun dreams and may they all come true

I had one dream that didn't happen and it was definitely for the better. It was a long distance romance and he, like me, was president of his State Student Nurses' Assn. in the mid 60s. I'd been to his home in MO and loved his family , but. I wasn't sure. He came to MI where I was living with my parents and going for my degree in nursing. My father was not very hospitable and it didn't help that at the first family meal, he, the boyfriend, pushed his chair back to get up and the back of the chair broke off. Things were not going well in many ways and I was suspicious when he said he HAD to get to the post office. Turns out he'd mailed an engagement ring to "General Delivery". I was shocked, totally unprepared, totally unsure and turned him down. Instead, I wound up with a wonderful man and never a doubt we were to be together.

Like Simon and others, believe it or not, I had a "dream car". I had always wanted an MG - preferably a '55, British Racing Green and one I could drive and not just "show". For a "milestone birthday" I drove into the dooryard and there sat an MGB, '72, blue convertible. I do enjoy this car even though it is getting much harder to get in and out of!

So all those colors WERE actually there Thankfully my retinas weren't detaching

Reading about and seeing pictures related to peoples' dreams has been wonderful. Your story particularly spoke to me. I am a pianist, studying piano from the time I was 8 through college and receiving a Bachelor of Music Degree (a performance degree). I always dreamt of being a concert pianist and, in some ways, I was on my way. I joined a newly formed symphony after moving to Seattle but, before I even attended a practice, I fell in love and followed another dream. When I returned, I gave private piano lessons for a number of years along with some other things. Again, my life went another way but I did keep my piano up. The one thing that impressed me about your story was that you never gave up and eventually did and are doing what you love. So many people through the years, knowing that I played, would say they always regretted not continuing to play. That's why you have impressed me so.

To all the others participating in this challenge, I commend you for obtaining your dreams. It takes a lot to do so, no matter what the dream may be. My life went in different ways than what I dreamt but I have no regrets. I've been lucky and done things I've really enjoyed and had experiences some/many never have. Interestingly enough, photography has been a great part of it. My dream now, is to get out and about at some point, have a bunch more road trips and some out-of-the-way experiences, and photograph all that I see. If I have some extra time, I will find a few pictures which exemplify what I'm looking forward to again.
