Trumpet baby! Maybe also not such a good instrument for the tone deaf.

5th floor! Thanks, LMD.

You might say I've got a dream job right now. Just started today (working through New Years) at my dad's company. Basically I sit at a computer at punch numbers into a database. It's wicked easy, and since I'm the boss's kid, nobody ever gives me crap for being lazy. Not that I am, of course.

...He says while playing on fff.net while on the clock!

(Just kidding Orpheus, I am guilty of the very self same thing. But it's not laziness in my case, it's always having to be doing more than one thing at a time. It's amazing how much MORE work I do when I'm here than when I'm not.)

mmmm my grandmother's russian teacakes are very tasty.

You know, most people that say they're tone deaf really aren't. They just haven't developed their inner ear. I've taught several "tone deaf" people to sing on pitch in mere days.

Trumpet's fun. I'm just I didn't play it. All that bzzzzzzzing.

Course, those stupid pie movies gave us flute players a bad name. Not too happy about that.

Whoa, all this talk of band takes me back too. I wonder how many others were "musically inclined" in high school?

I played clarinet and tenor sax.

Citizen, thanks for the input on the Tree. It was the kick in the pants I needed to get back at it.

It sorta isn't in my case either. There just really isn't that much for me to do there anyway. Long as I look like I'm doing something, they don't bother me.

Sadly, I saw that they're releasing another one of those with mostly new younger people. It's called Band Camp. It's likely strait to DVD. But still. More American Pie, another Cheaper by the Dozen, A Big Momma's House 2 (yes I saw a poster at the theatre) and people are questioning if we'll get a Serenity 2? Grrrr Arrrrg.
I played Sax.

No probs. I've been intrigued by this whole Tree thing for awhile actually. I spoke with CMS and she told me the best way to introduce myself would be to bump into those on Boros.

Citizen, bringing Monkey Ninja's to them that needs 'em.

On another note I was never musically inclined in High School. Never went to High School .

That's how I got into it. I talked to CMS too. I'm still relatively new to the thread. I just assumed you were already part of it. Lots of great story tellers there, but sometimes I find it gets a bit... out there .. for me.
