I referring to the guitar.  It's surprising because hardly  
anyone chats enough about their lives to describe the other  
interests they might have. The usual chat is about computers,  
and that's it.

I briefly tried guitar (it did not seem to be a very good one -  
and needed frequent retuning) ..and my fingers got a bit too  
sore.  An electric bass guitar might have been more suitable -  
but I didn't have that option at the time.  I like the idea of a  
portable intrument like a guitar and feel envious of those who  
carry that instrument with them and can just play any time they  
want.

I stared with a melodica (a blow instrument with a keyboard).  
That was reasonably portable, but the sound was bit distinctive  
and not suitable for every occassion like a guitar would work.

Then, I eventually migrated to an electric organ, and then to a  
real piano that my parents obtained for $100 in the mid 70s.

During my musical development between the melodica and the  
piano, I discovered that I had an almost natural skill for the  
harmonica too.

I imagined that I could rock the accordion, but I never had the  
chance to play with one more than a few minutes each time.
