Oh!  To you musiclovers I can tell that I am envious that I also never got
the chance to fully dedicate my life to playing an instrument.  I would
have loved to be a musician for profession.  The only artistic fortune
I have had so far must have been when I painted Queen Elizabeth in oil.
MyGodness!  I would never sell that painting!!!  And certainly I am sure
that all who ever tried artistery would allow an passionate amateur to keep
his masterwork.

I would now love to hear musicians tell about their musical hobbies!
