I'm not exactly unacquainted with music. Three years University of Washington School of Music, two years at the Cornish School of the Arts, over fifty years singing folk songs and ballads and playing both folk and classic guitar, taught folk and classic guitar for several decades, worked as an announcer at a two different classical music radio stations over a period of years.
