i strongly urge anyone who has given up playing an instrument and has thought about starting again to do it.

wishing you good luck in your musical journey(s), it can really be that, or what, we want

Hope that it takes your mind away from the propesterous reality everybody else seems to live in, works for me :thumbsup:

Peace,
