Saluki, I guess that's good that you agree on the big things.

I read your last post, and I so identified with you. My dad was a gifted musician, and I grew up listening to him. I took his guitar and taught myself to play....then went off to college, playing and singing in coffeehouses during the late 60's/early 70's. I also had a band in high school, and we rocked! But when it came to playing and singing in front of any man I dated, I declined. What's that about? I think I lacked confidence, and I gave it up after college, grieving for my music for many years, and even marrying a man who had no appreciation of music whatsoever.

I want to encourage you to pursue your dreams. It sounds like you are young. You don't have to "settle," you know, not in any shape or form. I am age 57 now, and I have been divorced for 11 years. Only now am I regaining my own persona, after relinquishing it for all these years for the sake of romance~! LOL. It don't have to be that way!
Love
Patty
