No Regrets

My time as a French hornist 
led me nowhere
My jazz. rock and classical studies led me nowhere.  
I used to sing 
while my father played the piano 
Art songs
He is gone now 
He made it to 81 - which is longer than most 
So I'm not a First French Hornist 
An accomplished pianist thrilling the crowds
I am a published poet 
As is everyone on this site!
As for those older people who are learning a few notes on the keyboard 
at an Adult Ed class
More power to them!
