I've tired a number of insturments. I first learned music on a tenor
sax. I switched to clarinet in high school because it was ligher and had
more interesting parts. In the 70's I added harmonica and in the 80's
flute and recorder, and in the 90's piano. Of those I found clarinet
easiest to learn (probably because of my sax experience). Every
instrument has its dificulties. I'm not a master of any instrument, but
of all those I've played, I play clarinet the best and I enjoy it the
most.

As for the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life? Raising kids.
