The thing that improved my sight reading the most was necessity, i was in a steel drum band that gave me notation that i barely knew how to read, but if you sit with it long enough and try not to think about the note names then you'll get better.

dude really? come on. if you're enjoying it then by all means keep playing! god who's gonna perpetuate music if half the population quits cuz they're "too old" and you aren't that old, cachao lopez played until the day he died at ninety some years and so ended his 80 year career, if he can keep...
