Hi all,

I have been lurking here since last October when I started taking private violin lessons. I've learned a lot from my teacher and I've learned a lot from you folks. I saw the House of the Rising Sun group song right at its deadline and was sorry that I had missed it. When I went to see if the video had been posted I saw that The Addams Family music had just gone up and was quite excited to get in at the beginning rather than the end :^) so I took the music to my lesson last night to start on it. I'm 58 so I'm among the "young at heart" folks learning to play. I have just gotten to the phase where I don't care if the house is empty and the windows are open when I play - and it doesn't hurt MY ears anymore...most of the time :^) Of course I am not soliciting feedback from neighbors so I can't say if I am hurting their ears or not - I don't want to know - but nobody has called the authorities on me....yet :^)   

My major in college (short-lived) was music with voice as my instrument...started organ lessons in 3rd grade, flute lessons during my college years, and picked up the guitar a few years back so I'm a bit ahead of someone that has to start from scratch - learning to read, etc. I retired a few years back and that is when I really started getting back into music - and I didn't realize how much I missed it!  Now it is what I do :^)
