yeah i needed to sell the 5 bikes to afford the violin, but it is really the time issue. I need at least 5 hours a week to move forward at all, and probably 10 hour would be better.. if I could just find those hours (and the concentration necessary for it). I will never be a concert violinist but its fun to work out new songs and learn something - music- which I never did have in my education growing up sorta poor in a rural area - with two tone deaf parents. no singing around our campfire!
I don't think ill start collecting violins either (to keep on topic) they are too expensive and... even if I did.. they are a lot smaller than a bicycle.
though the whole temperature control thing is an issue.
