It's a new year, and I'd like to encourage those ABBA fans who have always wanted to learn to play a musical instrument but haven't got round to it - and I know you're out there ! đ - to go for it.
You know this, but I'll say it anyway: the enjoyment and sense of accomplishment of being able to play music you love; hearing music afresh from the perspective of a player; playing with fellow musician-friends - and, yes, for the benefit of of listeners other than yourself when you get good enough, if you'd like to do that.
Of course the road to a certain level of competence will have its ups and downs, but the rewards are way up there! And in this tense world, to be able to sit down at a keyboard, strum a guitar or uke, beat out a rhythm on drums, or whatever else takes your fancy, is a wonderful blessing. I've found it so; and I'm so glad I took up a musical instrument. And I hope you will too.
