Well - I haven't taken my music seriously in a very long time (something in the region of 25 years!!) and after much soul searching etc I've now finally decided to get off my big fat arse and do something about it!!

Over the last ten years or so I've been slowly collecting a group of instruments (guitars, flute, sax, acoustic bass, digital piano etc) and have pretended to do practice in one form or another but haven't really got very far.

Main problem is having decided to finally get down to some serious work the old brain and fingers don't quite move as quick as they used to! Also found that following a pretty intensive hour or so at the piano the following day my fingers and wrists bloody ached like hell.

Just keep telling myself that the hard work will pay off and I'll be able to play somewhere like the standard I used to all those years ago (grade 8/Diploma).
