Learning and playing a musical instrument is associated with preventing cognitive decline, Alzheimer's, and dementia ;)

Before I moved I used to play with a few different folks that took up guitar after retiring. Once you have the basics down (all the cowboy chords, more or less) finding an open jam session and playing with people more skilled than you is a great way to continue improving.
Good idea. I have a friend who is really good on guitar so he could give me a few hints also. Where he works they make guitars so maybe he could hook me up on a better guitar also.

Last week I was the Facility Manager for a place that had 4 buildings. I told people I would walk into a building and then say to myself, Why did I come to this building? Would walk through the building and go out the other side and then back to my desk and hope I would remember what it was when I went back to my desk.

I get out of bed, walk into the bathroom and can't remember why. I turn around, walk back to the bedroom and hope I remember before I lay down.
