I’m a history teacher who teaches music in the summer when school is out. I have been a guitarist and bassist for almost 50 years. I have a collection of guitars, banjitars, and several basses. Bass is what I play mostly now because arthritis and hearing loss is taking the sparkle out of guitars. I still do recording in my home studio, mainly ambient improvisations.
