Is it ever too late?

HI GUYS!!!

Anyone miss me yet? >.<

Anyway, I have been missing the past few years to those of you that remember me. I graduated UMD in 2005, and I was still tinkering around with the clarinet here and there. But the past year, the group that usually calls me for gigs hasn't called me. They apparently have a fulltime clarinetist now. *scoff*

Well, after graduation, I went on tour to different places with them (Africa, England, Mexico, Cali) and other local gigs. I also joined a community Orchestra, but quit since it was an hour drive to the rehearsals, the group wasn't up the level I would have liked, and they required me to miss a paid gig for one of their concerts. I really was that snotty musician.

Anywho... I am considering getting back into it again, which means I need to pick the horns up and start practicing. Mainly, I am thinking of doing pit orchestras again, but what always held me back was flute. I got away with using a C clarinet on a few occasions but I don't own one, and I do own a flute. I just can't play it all too well. I am afraid my adultness/ADD won't let me "learn" anything else!

Anyone ever tried to learn a new instrument after a hiatus? And not fail at it? LOL

THANKS!
