    Hi Everyone!

    Haven't been around in a while, but just thought I'd let you know it's been 5 years since I finished treatment!

    No longer riding. I got obsessed with learning guitar and now I'm writing songs and recording an album (self produced). Boy, have things changed! I look back on this crazy journey with amazement and joy. I can't believe how my path led me to this completely unforeseen, beautiful, creative place.

    So, to anyone going through hard times, know that things can and will change. You will be stronger from the hills on your ride. Remember to enjoy the downhill!

    Wow, how exciting! Thanks for checking in. I'm glad you're doing well.

    What style of music are you playing? I found some great old guitar cds last summer, one from Django Reinhart and one from Les Paul and Chet Atkins. And I've long enjoyed blues guitar as well as the rock guitarists inspired by it. It's a great instrument, and can be used for such a variety of sounds.

    Gone but not forgotten:

    - Two awesome worn out Juliana saddles

    Oh my goodness! Red! I'm "never" here anymore, but happened to see this. I've taken up guitar too, since our son left the nest, and I'm having a blast :-D I have my hands full just trying to learn the basics, but it's sooo much fun to be able to play songs I know even in a simplified version. I would love to hear some of your stuff, if you feel like sharing. I'm on Soundcloud btw.

    And congratulations with the treatment done!

    Here's a new song. It's called Animal Farm. I'm on guitar and singing, and my bf is on synthesizer. We're calling ourselves Faraway my Lovely. So this is what I've been up to!

    Nice to see you guys! Rebecca, stay strong. I posted this update because of your thread.

    NY, I guess the music is Indy? Dave calls it space rock, and some of it is more psychedelic, but a lot of the songs are kind of retro pop. I watched a bunch of Chet Atkins videos on YouTube when I was starting out. I love his guitar.

    lph, so funny that your playing, too! We should start a music thread! I'd love to hear you. Can you send me a link? I'm new to soundcloud.
