...slightly bigger with a spike at the bottom that kills you - Eddie Izzard
I started playing the cello at 34 years old. It's something I'd wanted to do for years. It's been an interesting, enlightening, frustrating, challenging, and delightful experience so far. There's an amazing cello and music community out there, which definitely helps me keep at it. And I'll admit to another weakness here - I love etude books.
