Hello. I'm a guitar player who is not ready to 'play out' at this point as I am a bit rusty/have not picked up the instrument regularly in a while. I very much want to get back to playing/creating again, however. I am not a songwriter, not yet anyway, and I am not looking for perfect players, as the purpose here is to have fun, be creative, laugh, let go of our egos, ( as much as is humanly possible anyway).

I love to read and would love to belong to a book club. I live in Hyde Park and would like to form a group with people that live in the same general area. We could get together once a month (or every other month) to discuss a chosen book and enjoy each other's company. I'm in my 50's, but it would be great to have members of various ages join the club.
