Putting it to bed


I've read a few articles how Phil Collins of Genesis was having a hard time physically and with his ex wife. After seeing him here, it's a reminder you just can't cheat time, especially when medical issues get ahold of you. Looks like his son picked up his chops, though.

The physical part of aging SUCKS and no fun.

Years ago I saw pictures of Phil with drum sticks taped to his hands because he couldn’t hold them anymore.

So sad.

sgreg1,
Your outlook is a sad one. Every age has its own charms and troubles. Old age isn't a curse, it's a progression. 
Old audiophiles who cannot hear, but still want “ the best”, is the curse of this hobby.

After living with and helping my Father with Parkinson's disease for 10 years I do not see the “charm” in old age. I would not wish that on anyone and could not even think of a worse illness to go through as a family!
