What's one thing you'd change in your life right now?

I can think of a few things I'd change in my life right now (less lower back pain; better vision, so I could play outfield in softball without glasses), but the one that led to this post is music.
One thing I'd change is that I'd like to be in a rock 'n roll band that did more "cool" old music, like Cream and the Grateful Dead, and less "popular" old stuff.
The band in the picture did a really successful gig the other night, to a packed house, but I still wish we could do more "truly cool" stuff.

I'd like to have a stronger back although I don't have constant pain with it. And I'd like to be able to dance again - just easy ballroom dancing, no fancy stuff. Half a dance of going backwards or waltzing and my legs start shouting at me.

@JudyEv and my wife banned me from dancing for lifetime, after I had an "entertaining for me" and "embarrassing for others" dance at a local function a few years back.

You can keep doing your "cool" stuff on YouTube for fun and pleasure.
What would I want to change first? Better health would be a good one!

@TheHorse Well, at 68 I can't run or play sports like I used to. I can walk but that's about it.

@1hopefulman What happens when you break into a slow jog? Sixty-eight is young if you decide it's young. Cycling is great because it doesn't hurt the kneews. I cycled with my 66-year-old music buddy the other day.

@vandana7 So you will like to become a great classical musician and may be win some Sangeet Kala academy award, or some national ward?

I would love to be free ( with money) to travel the USA. But I have 2 jobs and 3 pets. To much responsibility to even think about that.

Right now? I couldn't really think of anything I could change right now. I'm happy with the way my life is going and I already did the changes that need changing.

Getting rid of tinnitus. The physical pains, I can take. Tinnitus is a completely different animal.

I'd like to be able to sleep more. Especially on days off. Waking up at 3 and 4 am is getting old.

@JohnRoberts I just awoke from a deep slumber at 9:30 PM on a Friday night. Does that make me "old"?

@Betxie1221 I've done a decent job with savings, my guitar addiction notwithstanding. But what do I want to buy with what I've saved? I'm not sure.

There is nothing I can think I would want to change right now about my self, but there is a family member who I wish I could change, who made some unwise choices and is suffering the consequences of those actions.

White Room is an awesome song. I have the bass line down to Cream's Crossroads (I know it's a Robert Johnson song), and Jack Bruce would be worried about me if he were still alive. I'm trying to get the rock band to do that one.

I miss DJing very badly. I wish I could figure out a way to still do it. I've considered an online radio show, but I don't have the proper computer for that sort of thing.

@spiderdust I listen to KDFC, but I don't know KKUP. Tell me more about it.

@TheHorse Possibly. I don't have a broadcasting license, so I'd have to take care of that. I know two of the local stations (KFDC and KKUP) are community run; they'd be my most likely possibilities.
