I can't remember a time when I haven't been singing. At 11 I took up the 'cello (because my music teacher asked me, and I quite fancied being a Du Pre type!!), and the guitar, cos it was the cool thing to play, and we had a guitar at home. It also had the advantage that I could sing with it. I never got up as much enthusism for the guitar as I have for singing, so my guitar playing isn't all that good. Now looking to try the concertina, cos it looks like fun, and again, you can sing with it.
