I'm sure that in order to hone skills, you need a fair amount of solitary time. But I think most of us play or sing in groups--so that's the opposite of being a loner. Choral groups, for instance, can be virtually a (sometimes very large) extended family--with the added bonus that you all have something in common, which gives you all pleasure--and the presence of the others enhances it--in fact is essential.

Sometimes a stronger bond than blood ties-at least stronger than ties with some members of the real family.
