Hey, great story and great post. Here is my story...

I bought a Maxwin acoustic guitar when I was 17. I never learned to play it, although I did make some attempts. When I was nearly 57 I pulled the old girl out and thought "maybe this time?"

Well, I still have her. Have learned some skills, written and recorded a few songs and have some people I can jam with.

Its never too late. I am 58 now and play something every day.

Keep playing man!
