Never Too Late
In "Never Too Late", John explores how the abilities of people are limited, but "not as limited as we think". The profoundness of a forty-year-old taking up an instrument, learning it, and playing it very well was something not really heard of at the time. He explains that even though "there are still limits to what can be accomplished, they are farther away than we imagine."[1] At first, John has troubles reading the music off the pages, keeping time and tuning his cello.
