For piano. Then I got "all smart" (as teenagers tend to do!), quit taking lessons, and thus never followed through.<br /><br />Now, twenty-five plus years later, I play more, teach 5 kids, and compose from time to time. Though I don't sit around thinking "shoulda-coulda-woulda", knowing if I had taken that route, my life would certainly have turned out differently. <br /><br />Nice post, Adoro - thanks!Larry Denningerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06015803653090711740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-36507839993739226182009-08-05T12:44:05.318-05:002009-08-05T12:44:05.318-05:00Father Speekman ~ Thank you.

Nice to see you again! :-) <br /><br />Jenny ~ I so rarely play my flute anymore, haven't even tried the piccolo in years, and it kills me that I can't do what I once could. I hope you've kept up with yours much more. After all, you got a lot further! (Wanna give me some music lessons? It'll force us BOTH to practice! lol) :-) But Vocation is far more important, isn't it. <br /><br />Wayne ~ when I read your first line I thought, "uh oh! They hated it!" So I was happy to read the rest! It was a great movie, and I have to be honest, too: I bought the soundtrack today. I had to. I couldn't help myself. You understand. <br /><br />It would be interesting to use this movie and start a theological discussion group on it. Good for creativity and friendship, I'm thinking! (And faith, of course!) <br /><br />Hope your family is doing well.Adorohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853244433854822731noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-72610946148467992582009-08-05T10:17:15.973-05:002009-08-05T10:17:15.973-05:00I'm going to be honest with you.

What a great insight into a tremendous movie!!Waynenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-15744604526556511622009-08-05T09:51:20.168-05:002009-08-05T09:51:20.168-05:00I can so relate to this post.

Toward the end of my college career, I realized I was supposed to be a wife and mother and not a professional musician. It is very difficult to have a proper family life while walking the path to musical perfection, so it was not to be. It has been 10 years, this August, since I played my senior recital and last played my instrument with any serious practice or intensity. Most days that is just fine. Other days...Jennynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15170815.post-21693804490015513622009-08-05T06:28:28.871-05:002009-08-05T06:28:28.871-05:00A nice read, Adoro, and thanks.A nice read, Adoro, and thanks.Fr John Speekmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05608397414319202513noreply@blogger.com
