I've been addicted to music all my life. I grew up with a piano in my home, started out on the trumpet in school band in 5th grade, switched to the baritone in jr. high school and played that through high school. Got an acoustical guitar for christmas when I was 18. Bought a Les Paul - studio model guitar when I was in my 20's. Bought a piano of my own (a Petrof) when I was about 30. Learned to play harmonica (including all the reed bends and overblows) in my 30's. And just recently made a banjo purchase about three years ago (I'm about to turn 53). Got a violin and mandolin for christmas from my better half. Guess I'll try them also.
