Now, that's what I'd call a GREAT philosophy, Rllink !! I try to approach things that way too. I know that realistically I'll never play with the skill of the masters, but I do have a knack for "working out" tasteful (if simple) arrangements of my all-time-favorite songs for my ukulele and my just so-so voice; I try to get them in a key that's comfortable for my voice, and I spend a fair amount of time exploring chord voicings that are just slightly different from what the listener might be used to in a given song, just to keep things interesting. It works well for the occasional coffee shop or nursing home appearance. And as much as I love instrumental material, I have found over the years that audiences like to hear you sing, they like to hear a story. But, getting back to your point, I agree that, instead of bemoaning that which we cannot do, we should grab hold of what we CAN do and work with it until we're the best "us" that we can be!
