Forgot to mention I am pretty much self taught. My grandmother was a concert pianist. She was offered a position with the Boston Symphony but turned it down to stay with her husband. That was a LONG time ago.

She taught me piano and how to read music. In high school I started drums as well as French horn.

I played anything then, now it's just a little finger pickin'.

Beautiful. You’re blessed to have been taught by your own grandmother. My grandma was a singer and piano player. She mainly played honky tonk, but could play other styles. My grandmother died before she could pass on these gifts, but my mother, father, siblings, and I still inherited the genes. I play clarinet in HS (drums/percussion and trumpet were already filled....naturally). Also ukulele, but than again, everyone growing up on the island played ukulele and sang.

Glad you never stopped.
