I just walked out of my office and almost all the way to the restroom without masking. Then I remembered and went back for it. Fortunately, I didn't encounter anyone, because as head of a group, I'm supposed to set a good example.

Took piano lessons for maybe two or three years when I was a ute. Keep my general music-reading skills sharp in community band, obviously.

I took lessons during my first year of college as a music major since it was required. Have long forgotten more than I ever learned, but can likewise read music and find the keys (maybe).

our finances are not in a way that I could do this. Also the guys house is literally right next door.

I took piano lessons for short time when I was young, but didn't stick with it. In my later teenage years, I fooled around with a guitar for a while, but was just a bedroom hack. When I took a break from cycling in '04, I got more serious about playing the guitar, but at the suggestion of a friend, picked up playing bass and put some work into getting decent. That lead to playing in a couple of local bands for a few years, and well as doing a little recording. I don't play much any more, however.

My aspiration was to play professionally in a symphony. But, then I found out that somebody had to practically die before those positions opened and the competition for them was fierce.
Since I was not virtuoso or protégé level, I decided to pursue a more lucrative career that would enable me to have a higher standard of living.
