Are you sure you practice?” Funny, my golf instructor said something very similar to me the other day! “I don’t understand it,” Mrs. G. said, “You are the only pupil I’ve ever had who gets worse. Are you sure you practice?”

Who knew? And through all this, my bewildered family has been pointing out the perfectly good piano(s) available to me, which I did play quite successfully for many years. Considered buying my own piano and turning the gallery into a music room, even...but art won out. Still, the idea of playing something a little more portable has always been irresistible.

Flutes were cool. Flutes were made of silver and came apart like machine guns so you could carry them in a briefcase." I just so happen to know a young (!) lady who could Help You Out. Yes, you COULD own a flute! Let's see....web-mediated flute lessons using a web cam and a decent microphone. You'd be a wiz in no time at all! The life of the party. All those other geek are pulling out their fancy-pants guitar-hero fake guitars and you snap open your briefcase, pull out the shiny flute, and knock 'em dead. By golly, that would show 'em!
