I don't actually listen to much recorded music, but when I do I'm quite happy with pretty basic equipment, my ears just don't have the sensitivity they used to.
But generally I much prefer going to see live musicians (mainly at my local pub, but I do go down to Bristol for the odd gig) and playing guitar, either on my own or with pals.
Making music with friends is about the best fun you can have and I'm very pleased to read of Bert's experiences - although the music that we make is very different, the joy is the same!
