I can barely handle a kazoo or wax-paper comb. There was never the money for a guitar, let alone lessons and no room for a piano (I have 8 younger siblings.) And while I have a good ear for music - and used to have a decent soprano - I never learned to read music, the good Sisters of Mercy attempts notwithstanding. I learned songs for choir by ear, all 3 years, first in Latin then in English, courtesy of the changes in the Catholic Church with Vatican II.
