JOn -don't get me wrong, I think it is marvelous that there are people who can pick up an instrument and make music. I wish I was one of them. It is one of those things in life that makes me turn green all over...I have even MORE respect for those who have to work at it then I do those who can pick up the bl**dy things and get them to work "right" in a couple minutes.....

But there are those of us who don't seem capable of it...my music teacher back in the 60's was SOOOOOO happy when I gave up the saxaphone after three years...of course he was also struggling to teach me to read music and had been for 6 years at that time. I just can't seem to get it...

but I will sing (almost) anywhere at the drop of a hat, or the mention of a drop of a hat, or the suggestion of a drop of the hat.....*grin*
