    What do you play, Alky? I imagine you're a clarinettist who also plays sax.

      DG, my major instrument in college was oboe. I still do a fair amount of orchestra work playing oboe and English horn, but I can get around decently on sax and clarinet. I turn down a lot of show work, though, because I don't own a sax (why take away the work from someone who has made that investment), and I can't play flute worth a crap (my mouth just doesn't work that way). And the bassoon, ugggh, that is the devil's instrument
      In the middle of my life's journey, I found myself in a dark wood, as I had lost the straight path. It is a difficult thing to speak about, how wild, harsh and impenetrable that wood is. Just thinking about it recreates the fear. It is scarcely less bitter than death, but in order to tell of the good that I found there, I must tell of the other things I saw there. --Dante, paraphrased

        guitar, fiddle, and banjo (a little mandolin, very little). Jack of all trades, master of none!

        just rented a cello to mess with, very fun!

          Well, wasn't I just completely wrong! I like the English horn a lot - just like I like the viola better than the violin.

          Any mediaevalist in you? (Shawm? Crumhorn?)

              Having a shiny black 1967 Yamaha G5 in our main room beats having 611 empty whisky bottles lying around.

              It almost sounds like a clich?, but it was my way of celebrating.
              Well, good on you Chief!

                I was in the band for 6 years in high school and the orchestra - played flute. I would love to find it (I think it's at my sister's house) and relearn. Something to think about! I always loved to play.

                  We should start the MWO BAND!
                  I think it would be sensational.

                  I'm in for the guitar and the piano and I have a fairly decent set of pipes but compared to my kids...I'm a complete amateur !

                        Yes, you could j-vo, or start something completely new?

                              Hi DG, I played both in the early music ensemble at my graduate school but I haven't played those instruments in a very long time since I don't own any of my own. Also, as I recall, they're not exactly ergonomic and were very hard on the hands. Don't know how well I would do with them at my age now.
