Electing to Play and Chosing Piano or Violin
I don't remember exactly where and when I learned what a violin was. I either saw what entertainment for young children as toddlers was like or saw some myself that I processed in the very formative years. I do remember myself and for my younger brother, who is 4 1/2 years younger, learning the name "xylophone" for the letter "X," with which it starts.
I do remember at age 1, 1 1/2 to be specific, on Christmas morning, before I started gymnastics, my hair might have been or looked wet and was in pigtails with bangs. I had a short red dress on with a white apron, I think, that flared out and my stockings and probably shiny red shoes. I remember it was hard to walk and move. I got a little yellow toy piano. I remember being excited and wanting to play classical music. Instead, I pressed a button, like my dad wanted me to, and it played songs, or "melodies," a musical term, specifically / "in particular."
A later Christmas, probably at age 4 1/2, I got my tiny electric keyboard. I had started gymnastics but not ballet but had fat sagging though looked thin without much of a double chin, then. I saw my very strong looking hands with my "German" seeming finger sticking out as I played buttons. I felt it was too late. My dad observed and seemed upset.
I learned "Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star," with my dad at age 7, probably. I think I did it at night before bed at age 9. Then, my aunt Barb then gave me books to learn piano, and I taught myself. My parents put me in piano lessons, and everyone was so encouraging and excited. Something daunting was when I was practicing, this time on a big keyboard, my dad kept asking me if I wanted to play other instruments. I don't know why inherently or internally, but since everyone was so excited I knew this was my chance and I could not focus. So, when I was 6, though I didn't think of it all the time, my grandma mentioned the orchestra, when we were visiting for Christmas in Southwestern New York state by Pennsylvania. I said I wanted to play the violin, and no one answered. I asked if I could play, flute, as well, violin again I think, and flute many times. I really wanted to play violin. I really thought I was in trouble so I asked if I could play flute and knew most schools had band, for some reason but not orchestra. It was easy to know this, then. Still, no answer. My next time came in 5th grade. My teacher from where my dad is from asked if we want to take a band instrument from her daughter. No violin, so no Christina. My best friend took saxophone, I think soprano/tenor. Then, in high school when I was like 14 or 15 and got in Talented Music for 15, the band teacher, a male, asked me to be in band. Since there was no violin, I didn't do it. I didn't know if I wanted viola. So, I didn't take lessons. His twin daughters took viola, and I think it actually was after. I wondered why not violin. I did take violin in college for Music Education, a group class. I took it the 2nd semester to get good at it and was gonna learn but was distracted being monitored in private. I started in 2016 and still play. I had 5 teachers. I followed the Freiburger Barockorchester since 2016 every day online until 2013 then Andre Rieu, with his people. So, this is West Germany and the Netherlands. I focused on Petra Mullejans, too, in Germany, from Dusseldorf and Cologne nearby. Andre Rieu is French, and his dad was a conductor. His parents are from France and probably moved after they got married.
I can still play piano and know everything.
What do any of you think of any or all of this? Any questions or wanting more information??

Good Night!
I might lie down in bed, "all sweaty," but I might get my nightly insulin and some pills.
Food
I had some tortilla/corn chips earlier with sea salt, finished the rest of the bag, not much left.
I just wanted to say "something."
Andre Rieu, along with but not because of his age, regarding being on top of things "sexually" or in certain things of pleasures... is tiers above Barb though he is indeed immersed in Dutch heritage, with Barb having a mom with Dutch blood and a dad who might have influence but maybe no bloodline. He is even way above the Netherlands.
Question
I've never seen anything like it!
How can you get dizzy or "go coo coo" from both/either fame and/or going bad and confused over a bit of time?
