Yeah, see that's how it was for me too. Well... sort of. When I began I didn't think it was necessarily too late (I began at 18) but given the personality that I've had through my life, my attention span wouldn't have permitted me to have stuck with it if I learned as a kid. I attempted to learn the mandolin, but my dad only encouraged that so far and working with him made it more of a chore than a hobby. About a decade later I started learning instruments when I developed the desire to do so. And I've been catering to that desire ever since. Right on schedule I say.
