Tootsall,

Great post. I am going through the same motions as I played many years as a very young student through university, and laid it down when I started my chosen profession, one I chose out of need at age 14. Am age 44 now.

I have heard it asked by some great musician if its something a person 'wants' to do or 'needs' to do. I have also read some Ingmar Bergman and he states the "ugly truth" is that we all live by our needs.

So if its a real need then I see that as a great reason to start at any age what you desire.
