RE: Talked on the national radio today
It's pretty cool that these people have slid onto the seat and challenged themselves as adults. Taking oneself out of an established comfort zone and into new areas is...Well, it's not done that much. It feels odd sometimes, and a little frightening so good on them.
I started playing the piano at around 4.5 years old and also played the organ being (sort of forced) to do competitions which I wasn't that keen on. This went on for years into my late teens and now...At 49, well I'm glad I have that musical skill but wish I'd kept it up as I'm somewhat rusty. I have a piano at my house and play sometimes. Not much.
Good luck to all at the concert on Saturday.
P.s. One of my piano teachers was the conductor of a symphony orchestra...I would take my lessons at a church and every so often I would play the pipe organ...Gave me a feeling of power and authority making such noise with my fingertips. Probably not the emotions it's supposed to but just being honest. 😂 I'd always play something dramatic.

It's becoming more and more common for people to discover their hidden-passions. That's why we see many adults picking up drawing, playing and instrument, dancing, building something interesting etc. This has something to do with realization that work is not everything in life.

Yes, I agree. The moment one understands that life is rather short and that it should be treated with respect, ownership and responsibility to get full-value from it is best experienced early...But alas, that is not to be for many. And yet so many do, and pick up tools, instruments, equipment, books, new languages...Fortunately that understanding came early to me. Of course I still work, however the most valuable thing I have is the the time I have...My wife and I use it wisely. In our estimation anyway.
