I just did not think I would ever learn guitar or piano well enough. And Clarinette...well, while I know I could play it, the cost seemed prohibitive.
But there was the Harmonica. Remember the Music for Morons? If not, click here. They are affordable, easy to carry, I have heard good jamming done with harmonicas and, here are several CDs now in different keys for practice. I suppose I wanted to learn how to jam more than whatever obstactles I could come up with, inertia being one on the top of the list.
So, opportunity presented itself during teh "Fun Friday" evenings in Grass Valley.
