  1. Sounds like I need to pick up an instrument.

  2. I can play the flute, David, but I prefer to sing. The difficulty with the "voice" as an instrument is that a voice changes and sometimes "fails" with age. Like a muscle, however, it is possible to keep it tuned! Try learning just 4-5 chords on a guitar and you'll be able to play literally 100s of songs within a very short time!
