You said that when you posted your Craigslist ad, you didn't find any pickers your age, and I immediately thought, "Why do they have to be your age?"

How about trying another ad, specifically welcoming beginners or guys looking to get back into playing after an absence, and who might be reluctant or intimidated to answer an ad from an experienced pro like yourself.

Plus, I think it would be nice if you could pass along some of the tips, techniques, and songs you've learned over your 45 years of playing. I bet you have a lot of them!
