The Woods are lovely,
Dark and deep . . . .
But I have promises to keep--
& miles to go, before I sleep.
And miles to go, before I sleep . .
--Robert Frost, "Stopping by woods on a Snowy evening!"
(i think-
)~ won't someone please recite it for us, now!?!
if i had just one wish: on this X-mas, ever ~~*~~*~~

Also @MisterBGone that music was pretty good, is that really you? I really wish I had learned an instrument, I tried guitar but I just couldnt get my little finger to press on a string properly.

Oh, yes! I'd like to think if I was going to find somebody to stand-in for me, I could find somebody to do a whole lot better than that..
I still can't get my fingers to do what I want, or tell them too (half-the-time). And a lot of players, at least for rhythm, will only use primarily two fingers (like the index and ring, or in some cases pinky; but you can use either or). If you look especially at punk & some certain rock players, I think you will see this utilized more frequently than you might expect. And I always find it funny when (& you don't see it so much any more these days, per se) but the actual established artist will say things like, "Oh yeah, the way they tabbed that out, or wrote my music for the song book... that's way harder than how I play it!").
And that's the thing that is interesting about the guitar, there are so many ways to play it. Unlike, say a trumpet~ If you're looking to sing, you could also try piano. Or most any musical intstrument that sounds appealing to you, will satisfy that same urge, and express the same emotion and feeling which cannot be articulated in exactly the same way by any other means, in my mind. Because, it really is (or comes down to) "all about the music!"

Oh, Man! Dante, you sound like a real/true "professional," there! 
That was INCREDIBLE. Thanks! : ) I liked it so much, I immediately went back to listen to it again, and then for a third time. . . Whenever I find, or stumble across that poem, I always focus on the parts that are not so often quoted by others (such as what I was guilty of right up there, or here!). It was simply amazing; & that we caught you in the midst of your cold only goes to highlight, or accentuate your skills, talents & gifts! I find that when I am under the weather, you sort of just get, what you've got (or a bit more of the, "real you," from a performance standpoint, or aspect). You're not trying to finesse this, or feature that. . . You're just 'doing,' or 'being,' you! Well done.

"Whose woods are these... fuck"
stop and delete recording, then starts again
"Whose woods these are I think I know, His house is in the village through, He will not see me stopping here to watch it fill... fuck"
stop and delete recording, then starts again
"Whose *cough* fuck"
stop and delete recording, then starts again, and again, and again

Well, I personally think that, if it is the piano that "feels," the most natural & correct to you--then that is what you should choose to do (if pursuing a musical instrument is still something you might wish to pursue?). Every piano player, no matter how good, or how great, was once in your shoes. That is to say: 'the beginning!' Yes, some seemingly learn to play from birth, or early on as you had initially began, or started out as a child. However, this is not always the case. And while I am not familiar with what it takes to learn the piano, a fairly analogous instrument from a songwriting standpoint, is the guitar. And I do know a lot about how some of them get started out, and sometimes much, much later in life (from reading about firsthand accounts on guitar forums, and such). I'd imagine similar things exist for the piano, as well.
And right now, there are just so many ways, an infinite amount really. . . on how to get started, or learning to play the piano. Whether it is self-taught, through a one to one teaching which can be done virtually these days, to just watching a lot of self-tutorials on youtube, and whatnot. Yes, it would be nice to skip all of this (tedious process), but that's not the way it works is it? if someone were brand new to poetry -- & wanted to just suddenly, "fall-out-of-bed," & know, or have acquired all of your knowledge, and comprehension or interpretation abilities with the reading and writing of poetry, that would be pretty unreasonable to do. And likewise, an analogous expectation can be placed on this.
However, the good news is, if you like (or hopefully, "love!") it; it will become easier to keep going, and learn... little by little, one step at a time (sometimes more can be added to the mix, but keep in mind whatever your end goal is?): do you want to be classically trained, or learn the instrument properly? Or do you want to have at it, and be able to play songs -- make your own music -- not focus so much on the theory and the technique and all of the other things that that entails? Or would you rather take short-cuts? On the guitar, you can pretty much learn every-thing "by ear," if you so choose. Never even need to learn to read music if that is your preference. And so very highly successfully & wild guitar players have made a good fortune and living, while achieving the greatest heights of fame from this theory, or mantra. That said, I'll tell you one little secret, most of the best one's - even if they don't know what to call the thing; the scale, the note, whatever it may be. . . (They still know how to do it--because either those that have influenced them knew it, or those that influenced those who influced them did!).
Point being, it can be done. It can be done. And, I don't want to make any promises, but I'd bet if you were to begin sometime at or around the First of The Year, for instance, by the Spring & most certainly Summer you could begin to see some rather noticeable results. Depending on your goals, that may even be playing or writing some very basic songs. You don't need to do a whole lot to generally impress people on a musical instrument (especially for those who are not musicians themselves). I mean, I don't even play so I can't translate or transpose music from the guitar to piano like so many others do. But I believe there are some fairly close "translations." And I even know how to find, what is it? The C Major Scale, maybe? so: (C, D, E, F, G, A, B, C); or, I think. . ? It's something like that. . ; ) If you're interested on the thoughts of others here, you might even make a thread asking for suggestions on how to go about learning the piano. All I know on the guitar, is, there's almost no right or wrong way, you've just got to find the method that works best for you (& how you learn).
