I've just joined and thought I ought to introduce myself. My name is Harry, I'm 51 and have played piano for only 2 years. Prior to taking up piano I played guitar and saxophone. Guitar was my livelihood, mainly jazz and blues - to be honest not as much jazz as I would have liked as there is just no real market here. If I could have earned the money I'd play jazz full time.
Unfortunately I have developed arthritis in my left hand so I can't play much guitar anymore. I can manage okay on piano as for some reason my hand doesn't bother me when I play piano/keys.
My biggest problem seems to be that I know the music but don't have the keyboard chops to play it. This gets a bit frustrating.
Anyhow, that's me for now. What I've seen of this forum I like so you will probably encounter a fair bit of me.
Cheers, Harry
