[QUOTE="Abbey, post: 198044, member: 179"] Star brings up a good point. I am a really good musician. (Don't mean to gloat.) There is only one instrument you can toss at me that I can't play pretty darn well and that is the guitar. Darn it all. Bass, electric...good, but acoustic? I want to smash the thing. BUT...I only play in private. I've always been this way since as long as I can remember. Heck, I won't even play for husband. But, when it's quiet and I get in the mood, I crank the studio up. As kids we took piano lessons from my mom until we left the house. She is amazing. For me, that was 14 years, started at 4. If you learn piano, you can learn anything. But, it was a chore for me and nothing pleasureable. I think that is why I play in private. When it feels right, I do it. Same thing with writing. That's why I'm up most nights at 2am. That's when it flows. Paint when your heart tells you to. That's probably when you're going to produce your best work. Abbey [/QUOTE]
