I used to keep my bass guitar near me, but it got left behind when I emigrated to canada. Being reminded by people like you and posts like this makes me feel like going to a pawn shop and seeing if I can find a half-decent cheapie to hammer some strings on.

I did the majority of my writing with a guitar strap on, so I feel like picking one up to see if it could get me back into writing, something I've struggled with ever since I moved.
