I have always had an interest in music, but never the patience or time.  At least it was that way before the Pandemic. I was always busy, busy, busy.  Running all the time but getting nowhere.  Then a meeting with a doctor that changed the course of my life.   It turns out that all that running was ADHD and the long-standing joke about having ADHD was actually very real. It can be a difficult diagnosis to receive later in life, but you take the good with the "not so good."  In my case the diagnosis led to a solution for the lack of patience and the Pandemic created plenty of time.  So, I learned how to make and play Native American Style Flutes.  The pentatonic scale is extremely forgiving and healing.  After the restrictions lifted, I was traveling for work and found a dulcimer in an antique store.  Even out of tune I could not stop strumming.  A few years later I built my first and I am still strumming away.
