I’m a 54-year-old man who’s always been fascinated by anyone who can play a musical instrument. I’ve tried many times, but I always ended up quitting — it just didn’t seem like it was meant to be.

My dream was to play just one song that actually sounds like a song and not a complete mess. Maybe that’s too much to ask, but I’m willing to give it another shot, even if I don’t have much hope. Why not?
