Hi to everyone!

I've been watching JP on YouTube, I like his stuff.   I plan to buy his lessons soon, read " as soon as I get a go-ahead from my other half.

I've been noodling around for about 10 years, never had any lessons so I'm still a beginner.  I did buy a few books, and some lessons from a guy out in CA, who you probably are familiar with.  He specializes in working with beginners, and I liked his stuff.  But JP's style is much different and I'm looking forward to getting his lessons.

I have no musical ability.  As a kid, my dad taught me the accordion for a few years.  But I hated that and gave it up as soon as I could.   Later, as a grownup, I wished I could play something.   After a night a a local blues club, listening to Charlie Musselwite play, I decided I wanted to do that.  So I bought a couple of harmonicas and started.  I've never been diligent with practicing and really working on it, that's why I'm still a beginner.  I hope with JP's lessons, I can change that. 

Looking forward to being in this group. And hope to learn a lot.

Thanks,

chichuck

Thanks to all!

I think my biggest problem now is practice practice practice.  For years, I've not had/made time for the necessary daily practice.  Back in the day, I was single, & the stumbling block was I was lazy.  Now, with a family, job &tc, &tc, I use that tired old excuse:  not enough time.  I fear though, its just that I'm still lazy.  Gotta focus, and get past that wall.  I remember when a kid, being forced to learn the accordion, and my parents providing the motivation.  Kind of unpleasant, but it worked.  Maybe my other half would be willing to help.......   Wait, not sure I want to go there.  Well, there's a way.  I'll figure it out.
