Hi everyone,

My name is Mike, I live in Berkshire, although I originally come from Welsh Wales, and I have Parkinsons.

I was diagnosed about 3 years ago, when I was 62 ish, although I was misdiagnosed for a few years, so I guess I've had it for about 7/8 years all together, and I had to give up work just over a year ago.

For my sins, I am a member of three other forums ( Volvo's/ Fender guitars ) and I look forward to this forum being as active, informative and interesting as they are.

Welcome Mike 700. Many of us are interested in music and obviously as a man with good taste in axe's ( I cannot play a note) please do tell where your interest lies? I'm betting on Blues but a Volvo man could be pure Country?
