[sdiy] new guy - how did you start

[wood]

hey everybody, i have been on the list for a several weeks now and have enjoyed all the information so far. although alot of it is way over my head, i think this forum is right up my alley, as they say. what i would like to know from you all is... how did you get into this?  what made you decide to start making your own music machines?  what was your fist diy project? how did it work out for you ( did you bite off more than you could chew, or was it a smooth operation)? what would you say, besides sdiy, was the most important resource to you when you started (a book or project or mentor) and what would you fine folks recomend as a good beginner project. i know that is kind of alot, but i am curious.
thanks for all the info thus far and for all you may provide in the future.
