Every time I go on one of my weirdly intensive music listening trips...

it makes me want to learn an instrument. (Guitar, bass, or drums. Oddly, preferably the latter, but that's not really very practical, is it?)

I can't really afford another creative hobby; it would only dilute my efforts in all the other areas I'm already not quite active enough in. And also, the kind of music I'd like to make would be with a band, and I imagine it would a) be very difficult to find one, and b) it would take years to get good enough to even consider trying to find one. If it's even possible to get good at all, when you start learning in your thirties.

The reasonable thing to do would probably be to try and find a choir again. But my voice is all fucked up from nearly twenty years' lack of practice... (I'm told it used to be quite good - but that was when I was a teenager.)

Then again, a choir isn't really what I want.

Hmm. Individual singing lessons, maybe? To see if there's still something to salvage?

My OH has been taking singing lessons on and off for the past year, having not sung for about 30 years, and enjoying it a great deal.
