I have a finger-length issue, which makes playing anything bigger than a violin or ukulele difficult. I am playing a short-scale bass, which helps. I still can't do a finger per fret (the best I can manage is 4 fingers over 3 frets).

The Yamaha acoustic/electric I bought 13 years ago is still in its gig bag...

You picking up bass remind me of Carol Kaye. (look her up if you don't know).

She was a session musician playing guitar but they needed a bass player. She switched and became one of the most prolific bass players in the business.

I helped install hundreds of roof mounted TV antennas back in the 60’s
and 70’s. Then cable TV arrived, putting an end to that. I didn’t miss it.

Ours had tape marks around the perimeter of the dial for Buffalo, Toronto, and Hamilton TV stations.....

One of the first girls I kissed was the "babysitter" who came over as I was scaling the roof to adjust the antenna. Apparently my painter's pants looked pretty good on me.
