Yup, turning 55 in 2 days time. Been learning for about 2 years. Don't really practice enough, short span of attention.

Funny thing I've noticed. I try a new tune, can't seem to get my fingers to obey, start thinking I'll never get it. Go to bed, next day my fingers are starting to get there, not 100% but better than the 0% of the day before. It's as if my brain is re-programming my hands to follow the pattern as I sleep. I swear, it's happened multiple times.

Anyway, good luck to all of the "senior starters" out there. There's certainly worse things we could do with ourselves!!!!
