My sister can pick up any instrument and play it like a pro within minutes. I can whistle.

Yeah, I tried but I just don't have it. I think I could have played drums if given an opportunity, but my entire existence was geared towards making a living from the time I was 14. Thank goodness my sister did not have those concerns so early in life.
