I envy you your musical abilities.
And I, like you, love Miles Davis. It took me a while though. At first, for several years, I just took him to be a poor and lazy trumpeter, but boy was I wrong. He heard things that hardly anyone else at that time did. And, one of my favorite things about him was that he never stood still, he kpet on exploring and inventing and playing with new and up coming jazz improvisors.

Fantastic responses from you all!
Some of you have extensive knowledge and training, I’m pretty much self taught and love to keep learning!!

If it’s hot, wet and sticky and it’s not yours, don’t touch it!

You might believe you "do not play," but I suspect that like me, you were never satisfied with how quickly or easily you could express yourself playing... and therefore just gave up on the whole stress-inducing experience.
Our problems with learning instruments usually arise from something more fundamental than some "inability" to be musical... it has more to do with our inability to "be taught" in a certain way, according to a certain metric, or practice. The difference is often exacerbated by "parents" or "teachers" and their baggage brought into the exercise.
It's like people who say, "I can't draw" or "I can't 'do' math," many times such statements are based 'outside' of the reality, and more focused on the "perception of it."

When I invited a piano teacher into my home to discuss with myself and my children what to expect from the lessons, she immediately judged us on whether or not we would be good piano players by the shape and size of our hands/fingers. I thanked her and told her don't call me, I'll call you (rather I won't call you).
