Took piano lessons for many years, know enough to make my way around a piano but not really make any beautiful music. My Mom either played the piano or organ at church. I loved the violin so my parents decided to start me with that. After my first lesson they were having a concert and asked me if I wanted to play. I decided then that they really didn't care waht I sounded like if they were going to have me play in a concert after only one lesson. Now I play the remote control for tV, radio, CD, DVR anything with a remote control.
