alt Hacker News> The joint at the base of my thumb started telling me it's 60 years old
This is my biggest apprehension. I've become quite a good guitarist, and I know that can't last forever. Getting my accomplishments in while I can.

You better. I have an uncle who was a very accomplished pianist and who can't play anymore due to arthritis. Play the paint off it while you can.

Your accomplishments? For me playing music is for joy, not for status

Ironically, last year i decided to relearn piano after some 40 years. Learned one piece (a pretty good one, fortunately) and a once a day play triggered it. So. It's more like once every 2-3 weeks now, not long enough to forget, but long enough to keep the thumb feeling all right.
