Hi Ray and Rick and All. Out of town over the weekend, and saw this message first. I, too, would like to know if more of our list members are musical/artistic--or if anyone knows of PD people who are artistic. Laureen (my wife) doesn't really talk about not playing piano/organ any more. It's only been few months since she stopped--and she stopped when she felt (not anyone else)her abilites were going downhill.
