Re: Musical loners?
I'm another who just enjoys playing for the sake of playing - not a career, not a moneymaker, not of "bondng" experience and not a problem. Occassionally a mini-jam with granddaughter-guitarist is fine, but that's about it. The time for being in a band, participating at festivals or anything close to it has gone by for me. Music is now a totally relaxing experience, and anything which can add any stress to it is avoided at all costs.
Don't get me wrong. I appreciate and admire those with the discipline to perform in public. The level of practice and rehearsal necessary to do it right is much more than retiree-me wants to commit. Those who do it get a sincere tip-of-the-hat from me.
It's fun being a musical amateur who is only into it all for personal pleasure. Keeping it "fun" makes it a joy.

The inventory is always in some flux, but that's part of the fun.
