Scott, interesting idea. Well we have Rick, our hip, humorous musician. Some people thought I played a pretty mean piano, but I knew enough about music to know I didn't know anything. Have small hands and was too lazy to practice too. Years ago my musician teacher of 3 months asked me to "sit in for him" at an almost empty piano bar. I froze with fear. Does it bother your wife like it does me that she can't play any more? PD is such an awful thief. Also could paint copies of great art, but nothing original. I wonder who else on our List has/had artistic abilities. Ray ----- Original Message ----- From: "Scott E.
