Good for physical, and mental, emotional reasons.

Wasn't really good on the piano so my parents dropped the lessons. Also we didn't have a piano.

Got a acoustic guitar at 16? Eh, not too good at it! 😄 I really wanted an electric guitar! Which decades later I bought! Not very good at it either! 😄 But I loved it. Still have. Need one string restrung. However I inherited a big cassette tape, and CD player from my mom that I could plug my guitar into. 🥰
But it finally went kaput.

Keep enjoying your music making!
👍 🎼🎵🎶
