Thanks Jackson, for this so easy to play blowing in the wind.  I would love to learn from you, it makes me feel so nice to listen to you, you seem so gentle like a real good teacher. I have been trying to learn one instrument since I was a child, but since we were poor my parents could not afford any class, but thanks to technology and to people like you who are willing to help people like me. I am 60+ but I think there is no age barrier for learning.
