Hi Listers,
My other life has been in professional music. I played principal oboe
(hence "oboephil") and English horn (that's a larger version of the
oboe.....not a French horn) with the Duluth-Superior Symphony Orchestra for
18 years. Prior to that I played in the Thunder Bay, Ontario Symphony for
six years and before that I freelanced in Minneapolis/St. Paul as a kid in
high school and college. Taught oboe at the high school and college levels.
Soloed w/several orchestras, played with some of the "greats" in the music
and entertainment world. I retired from that scene in 2000. Still play the
oboe/E horn, but miss the big stuff. I'm finding that music and training
horses don't mix when it comes to older arthritic fingers...ugh! But, I do
spend more time w/my Fjord horses after retirement.
Also raised four wonderful and crazy boys (men now) and a good husband
(raised him too!) ( ? ? ) Five fun grandkids also.
