>Same here. I took piano lessons, guitar lessons, flute lessons, and even the coronet. I played in the band one year. We always had musical instruments around. My mom could play by ear and loved boogie woogie (which is probably why I love it so much). We had people over for years jamming on different instruments. There lots of fun jam sessions. My daughter took piano lessons and violin lessons. Neither of us pursued it much beyond a couple of years. We all learned to love music (and to read sheet music which was my goal for my daughter) though.

Wow, you sure tried a lot of different instruments! I never joined band in high school, but two of my sisters did. One played clarinet and one played coronet.
