Thanks Mike. But I am not retiring from this list, or as a studio musician. I still have my B3s, Mellotron, and Motif XS, so my musical world will continue in the studio.

However, I hit the wall on Saturday night. As many of you know during my last gig in February I suffered some hearing damage that created some tinnitus. The ringing is not constant and comes and goes. Its been pretty good lately so I played the show on Saturday night with my -30 db ear plugs. Well, the ringing returned and now I realize that any loud music will bring this back on.

That, and the fact that lugging and setting up equipment, even relatively light equipment, is sure getting old.
We have another gig for May that I may play as a backline is provided and the stage sound level is low, but that will be it.

Thanks to everyone for your support.
