I'm in my 30s and over the last few weeks more and more people I know are having operations or getting even worse news about their health. Touch wood I haven't needed medical advice/ help for 2 decades. But it does hit home how short life is.
To that end, much to the annoyance of my wife, and because I've always wanted one since I was a kid, a Banjolele is going to arrive in an hour or so.
So I think I better get a book on George Formbys greatest hits!

:roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: :roflanim: , well go for it and yes, you are spot on, I had anaphylactic shock from antibiotics for a mild infection...so yes a reality check but I just bought a new pair of PJ's...and some toiletries, just in case.....ummmmm ??? ??? , maybe I should get a banjo too ;)

I think its a brilliant idea. Go for it, and yes some recordings would be good :thumbsup:

Yes. Don't leave until tomorrow that which you won't be able to do tomorrow. OH has bought me a piano for my 60th: haven't played one since I got to grade 7 at 16 so am utter crap at it but happy

I forgot to add I have never played an instrument in my life..... Those recordings may not be such a good idea... Yet haha

I'm that tone deaf I can't tell if I've tuned it right even with all the free apps to help you get it right. And then of course I have sore strumming fingers! Lol!

I started to learn the piano at the age of 60 so I agree, it's never too late. I have wanted to learn since I was a child but never had the opportunity before.
