I played the accordion a little when I was very young and learned to strum a few cords on a classical guitar in my 20s. Wish I had kept at it.

I play alto saxophone. I was a saxophone major in college. These days I play in a community band. I actually own a piano but it sits in my living room collecting dust. I had piano lessons as a kid but I was never really a good player. It was my introduction to playing music, though.

I don't play an instrument, though I wish I could. I tried a few things as a kid.

Interesting you should say that, I've been thinking about the musicians I know, and many do indeed go to church!
Never too old to learn an instrument ;)

I suspect many children are introduced to, or given ongoing practice for, music by the church.

Love music!!! I have a large music collection of many styles. I got dentures at age 18, & could never so much as blow a balloon anymore so sax was out.....not to mention not enough talent.

Still not talented enough. I've tried guitar, drums, & keyboards, but didn't take to them.

Loren Miller replied to matthew greenberg's discussion Pope Francis says even Atheists go to Heaven"Hmmm, an outreach to atheists from the pope?
