I understand your practicing. Very boring. Reminds when I took piano lessons. Practice, practice, practice- hated it. If I could play something I recognized would make it fun. Took piano lessons for eight years and hated every minute of it.

As far as your cut for something real and so see some results. Looks Great.

By the way, Welcome to the club. You will get lots of help here.

Jerry, when I was 8 years old my parents asked my if I would like to learn a musical instrument and if so what one. I said yes and I'd like to learn guitar. So they bought me an accordian and I too took lessons for 8 years. When I turned 16 I stopped and never played it again. I hated every minute and can't stand the sound of an accordian.

Well, at least it wasn't bag pipes. My parents also asked me which instrument I'd like to learn. I said the drums. So, they enrolled me in piano lessons. 4 year's later they gave up. I still can't play the piano but I love to hear a good drummer get it on.

Funny you should mention the accordian Ray. I always wanted to play the accordion. When I was 16 after 8 years of piano lessons my parents finally aggreed. I got quite good, played in an accordion band and also played in a trio with two other accordion players. Won a couple of prizes and would travel with the accordion band to other states for accordion contests. Accordions were quite popular in the 50's and 60's. I don't have any regrets in life, but do have a couple of wishes one of which was I would have kept my accordion. Wanted to buy one after I got married but my wife wouldn't let me, she hated the accordion.
