Well, I guess what I have found is this.
I wish I had found ukulele and guitar in my younger years, even youth, rather than my later years, when my children had grown up and I found time to get interested in playing some kind of instrument.
I wish I had learnt harmonica and piano as well.
I wish I had found singing and recording when I was younger, rather again in my later years.
l wish I had found performing in a group (would love to have played in a band of some sort) when I was younger too.
Now I find, if I don't perform each week like I used to in our little weekly ukulele group, vocals and ukulele start to go downhill and it's hard to get back up.

Thanks, Phill and yes, it does.

There was more of my post written, but it apparently didn't make it.

Bill, I spent nigh on 50 years playing and singing to big crowds and small crowds. I always said when it stops being fun I'll stop performing. Well a couple of gigs after lock-down I realized I wasn't enjoying the driving, the lifting and carrying, the singing for 2-3 hours then loading the car up again and driving home while listening to good music...I realized at the age of 72 the fun had gone. I much preferred sitting in my studio writing and recording songs and occasionally making backing tracks for friends was what I enjoyed more than applause and a few quid in my pocket. Do I dream about performing now? Oh yes. Do I think I can still command an audience? Mmmm don't rightly know. Have I had offers to join bands? Yeah. Do I want to? No.
I hope that answers your question?

....while you're dreaming, your "conscious" mind is telling you, "Man! That really stinks!?
