It takes time to grow and nurture a talent - I've watched a friend of mine mature over the last ten years from an amateur water color painter into a true professional talent. It was quite a journey and she says it isn't over by a long shot!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3554125151787997248.post-13871731793529455492014-07-14T14:21:58.362-07:002014-07-14T14:21:58.362-07:00Absolutely.

I play several instruments and even minored in music in college. But the only one I can play with any skill right now is the guitar because I spend an hour or two practicing every day.<br />That's cool your aunts can play together at that level.Alex J.
