Something to reflect on:

Anyone can learn to play a musical instrument, there is nothing stopping you from doing so, just the BS reasoning that you tell yourself why you can't. Don't come to your death and have regrets, listen to that inner voice and go for it. You may never reach the heights of being in a #1 band but if you enjoy it, why let society stop you, start now and hit that next level of music in your life.
