I knew a guy who drove buses in Rockhampton, Queensland. He liked his job and had done it all his working life. A few years before retirement he thought about what he may have missed out on in his life, but he couldn't come up with any thing much. Except for one...he'd always wanted to be able to sing well...just a few songs. His voice was pretty awful, but, he decided to go to a singer tutor and he did the various voice exercises and learnt hard at 60 years of age. After a year of singing lessons, he was still driving the bus and yet could now sing 5 songs, 3 popular songs and two semi-operatic songs, in pretty close to perfect pitch.

He knew he had it in him.
