Heh, yeah, my singing voice makes dogs cry 5 blocks away.
I used to play Alto and Tenor Sax. Might pick it up again sometime in
the future when I get time and money. That part though, is scarce nowadays.

Probably. At least among the geeks I know it is.
I played violin (parents' choice) and steel guitar (my choice) as
a teenager, but after high school my lifestyle was too mobile to
keep up with instruments.
I love singing, too, and when I worked in the West Texas
oilpatch, my crewmates always told me I should sing tenor.
Tenor twelve miles down the road, they meant. :)
Doc I stopped playing the tuba 40 years ago.
My hearing is way too bad to subject anybody to listening to it.
I took up the tuba in 1997, being a nearsighted piano player since I was a
kid. My wife encouraged me to take up an instrument that I could be more
"sociable" with.
I'm still nearsighted, but since then, I've also learned double bass and am
setting my sights on learning viola this year. Just another noise to
torment the dogs...
Are musically-minded people still as commonplace in the computer business
as they once were?
