I took piano lessons for years as a kid (10+) because I had to. Once I could stop I did. I have regretted that choice for many, many years now. Time to choose different, so here I am. Besides the fact that being a workaholic for 20+ years hasn't brought me any joy in my life. As I sit here typing with sore fingers from my first online lesson, I look forward to learning, maybe making a few connections, doing my best and helping anyone I can.

I urge you to be a nonconformist by pledging:
I promise to be different;
I promise to be unique;
I promise not to repeat things other people say.... :)

Anyway, hello from Washington State!
