   The older one becomes, the more true is this statement.=20
   I was at a jam session recently that mostly features rock guitarists and=20
singers. LOUD distorted guitar and overall volume at ear-bleed level. I got=20=

to play harp thru the PA with a decent blues guitar player, and the bass=20
player is a good blues musician... so the guy fronting the jam turned around=
 and=20
had everyone lower their volume when I played the harp solo. Funny how welll=
=20
that worked and yet the volume went right back up to 10 afterward. I use mus=
ician=20
ear plugs and still worry about the affect on my aging ears.
