Having read this entire thread, and not being able to figure out why it's "BS", since it does have musical implications, I've turned my mind to the actual topic...

Now, I'm not exactly sure where I'll end up when I'm gone--I'm aiming to head "back to the mountain" but just in case there are other options, I think I'd like to take my instruments with me.

Consider--except for those of us who are already harpists, who wants to spend eternity learning ANOTHER instrument? One can only speculate, of course, but it may be that heaven is reserved only for the singers and harpists (and occasional trumpeters) of divine caliber. Hell, therefore, may be the destination for those of us who forget words, miss notes, drift off pitch, and fail to practice enough to become divine musicians.

Consequently, if I'm going to spend eternity doing *something* I'd rather spend it playing instruments with which I am passingly familiear, which might up my chances of being in a less unpleasant circle of the nether world.
