Physically my hands are pretty much shot as far as using them to make a living which I did for 45 years. Since I stopped working the pain in my right hand is now only a dull ache as opposed to the much worse pain I used to have all of the time when wielding a knife.
Yes, but at a diminished level. Still, I've found ways to faking some chords that I can't play the normal correct way. I haven't played much lately, but I rarely do in the summer as it is usually too nice out to sit in my dark basement music room. I'm sure I'll be playing more this fall and winter when the weather turns to crap.
I do think my long time plans of starting or joining a "band of geezers" is probably not going to happen.
