I'm not even going to ask what wondrous publication this appeared in. I'd be more impressed if it was a Johns Hopkins instead of a "John Hopkins" panel.

And it has to be hand built? And new, not used.

OK. I'm in. I'll get two just to be safe.

No problem for me - she also plays, so we're sort of mutual enablers...

Oh yeah, and like nobody noticed the name of the "Research Panelist", Pat McGroin ?

Of course, you realize that it's still true anyway. Music does expand life.

This is actually the most important aspect noted. If you are not enjoying life and having fun might as well check out.

I would rather live 80 great years then 150 miserable ones.

This is the bias. If you have a wife that doesn’t give you cr*p about buying a guitar, you probably live longer.
