Aww heck you're a great guitar player with a beautiful voice and a deep gut feel for writing, you'll be sane to the end. Now how bout a new song or two?

Now, I only sing, and can't play any instrument unless you consider castanets an instrument. BUT. . . are they saying if I learned to play an instrument, my sanity might return? Sounds worthwhile, but it also sounds like a lot of work. AND, what if I'm already too far gone to learn? :o)

Well you know the old saying...if you can't play, and you're too far gone...drink wine! 😆

If you've got the time, why not give it a go? - learning a new instrument I mean! What have you got to lose? Learning anything helps keep the brain sharp.

there is a thing called neuroplasticity, when you learn something, new synapses grow,

if you don't play , you certainly will lose your sanity , 5 years old or 85 , it don't matter
These songwriting forums sure has lost some steam since Suno came out , its like crickets
