It is never too late to begin exploring new ideas... especially things music related. Arrangers are evolving... some more, some less and who knows where tech will lead us. Stephen, I'm so pleased to know "the light came on" at seventeen... and you did not waste your parent's investment in your future. (Wish I had been fortunate enough to receive such a gift.) I can only imagine how you are enjoying the Gig... and now beginning to mix in arranger styles. Good on ya', Mate!
