Oh! I had a phase of that! It got expensive In the late 90s, I
was ordering cheap musical instruments from eBay (a Cello even),
spending a few weeks getting "good enough" for my satisfaction,
then reselling it locally for a profit [part of my 'addicted to
making money phase]
I had a band teacher that made me play almost all of the major
band instruments, except for flute and drums. My mainstay is
keyboard/piano, but if you give me some plastic cups, I'll make
a song up. It's more of a curse than an addiction I was supposed
to go to Julliard Music school when I was 10. After some fancy
piano lessons, I told my mother, "PLEASE NO, PLEASE", because I
could see the perfect practice required... and I saw the kids on
stage and the grownup performers... and they just didn't seem
happy enough to me.
I'm glad she agreed. A music career would have been something I
could *do*... but it wouldn't have been my dream.
