>Here is something I am interested in. How many programmers play a musical instrument? I have worked with many who do - and in the last ten years I would say that about 90 % of those who do not have degrees in computer science, play an instrument. Those with degrees in computer science seem to be able to play the keyboard (computer). That comment may start a beef!

>When I was six I began playing piano, and guitar since I was 10, and many other stringed instruments. Guitar styles include western, folk, classical, jazz and flamenco. I played flamenco professionally until I married and found out I had to get "a Real Job". I still play flamenco guitar for dancers and singers from Spain and the United States.

I think all of them, to some degree, toot their own horns. < gd&r >

I used to play the saxophone and bass clarinet in grade school, but that was many years ago. My musical skills today have diminished to playing scales on a piano.
