Growing up in the heart of the cultural center of Yogyakarta, the sound of gamelan music are nothing new for me.  However, I regret that today, that is all I can do, listen.  I don't know how to play it. I wish it was different.  To think of learning this percussion instrument at my age is reminding me the saying you can't teach old dog a new trick.  I settle with the enjoyment of listening.. . :)
