Hi Debbie,
Very interesting post to the list. Several years ago I tried (without much
luck) to play the flute in honor of one of my favorite musicians, Ian
Anderson of Jethro Tull. Tull is still one of my all time favorite groups.
At another time in my life, I tried my hand at bass guitar. Lately, after
seeing Skylark in action and meeting him, I have been thinking about giving
bass guitar one more try. I am a very good vocalist, at least that's what
I've been told, and love to sing, especially Doobie songs. Anybody else
want to share their interests?
