My mother alway had a piano in the house as she played the church piano and my oldest brother was learning when I was about 4 years old. Mom & Dad wanted me to learn Piano but I was more interested in the Beatles, CCR and all the British explosion that was taking place. I wanted to play guitar but they wouldn't hear of that evil piece being in their home. SO I DIDN'T LEARN anything other than my love for evil music.
I have been learning now into my 3rd year and hope , like Strum to someday be able to sit with others and play.
