Thank you. And you are right! The scary part is the one that drives me. I need that pressure hanging over my head like a halo. That forces me to get it done. Good luck to you, and have fun with your summer challenges as well.

I'm not really into the crowd of quit/restart folks but what i want to say is that i'm inspired by you people who have the courage to pursue the harship of learning an instrument in the late stages of life. I started 1 year ago, being 30 years age old, thinking to myself....am i not too old for this? But now seeing you guys in your 50's or 60's getting on with it so excited, i feel ashamed that i thought it was too late. Anyway...congratulations!

Anyway...congratulations! 50s and 60s are the "late stages of life" (jaw drops). Well, um, thanks. Your heart is in the right place, but I wonder what your perspective on stages of life will be in 20-30 years ?

But you know how it is... When you are several decades younger than other, you always think of them as "old"; but when you get to that age, you no longer think in those terms... I remember as i kid i looked up to 25-30 years old people as old people:D
