@7jharr9 That's a shame, I'm young, but I have arthritis in my knees. Taking Cod Oil supplements and eating food with Olive Oil seems to help me strangely enough.

Just read his story in the local paper-good to find you here,George.

Very good George. Age don't seem to be bothering your hands. Arthritis is really changing the quality of my playing.
