People may say to get a life. Well. this is my life, and I love every minute of it.


Bernie have to say I’m envious of you with that amount of time. I could spend that amount of time every day because it’s what I love doing. Unfortunately, I have a wife who thinks just because I know how to play already I don’t need to improve or work on the instrument. Her thought is I’m stealing hours from our retirement when I play too much. We’ve had some debates about that topic in the past. I don’t think non-musicians or those who do not have a time consuming hobby would understand it’s a labor of love. I guess it comes down to balance.
