@Alan Davis -- I went looking for the "Like" button (it's a Facebook thing . . .) when I read your post. Esp. the part about buying the oboe twice. Your shadow self knew what you really wanted to do, all along!

I began playing the oboe (after an on-and-off-again lifetime of playing the clarinet and directing church choirs) at the age of 60. I started on my own, but got a teacher after about 6 months.

Nine years and 8 oboes (some of them simultaneous -- I have four right now, not all operational) later, I am principal oboe in a well-established community orchestra, and play in two others locally. Plus the odd woodwind quintet. And I think I am finally getting the hang of it.

To the O.P. -- it gets better!

Susan
