Does age matter?

I've always thought that there are a lot of things which, if you don't learn in your childhood or latest by your teens, will be too difficult to learn when you're an adult. Music is one of them.
We do see exceptions like our own Ilaiyaan, but then all drop-outs aren't Bill Gates, right?
I'd been to one of my friend's place last night and i saw a Yamaha PSR keyboard lying there. I knew his sister was into music and asked him if it was hers. Na, it was his dad's. He's been learning it for some 8 months now!
A tinge of hope, i did feel.......
Life is for the real "doers" and not mere "contemplators" like me.
Make that transition, my dear self :)
