Some of the biggest turns in life don’t look like mistakes until you’ve lived long enough to recognize them. One of Mikes were quitting the piano. Mikes parents signed him up for lessons in elementary school, and I loved the idea of making music. What he didn’t love was practicing — the endless scales, drills, and rules that kept him inside while the world was calling him out to run, play, and feel alive. By seventh grade, the piano was gone from his life. A guitar followed him into college, but without lessons or guidance, it gathered dust and quietly disappeared too.Decades passed. In his late forties, while Christmas shopping at a Barnes & Noble, He noticed a small display: Learn to Play the Harmonica. On a whim, he bought it. He tore open the package in the car, slid the CD into the player, and before he reached home, he was already playing songs. Something woke up in him that had been asleep for a very long time.
