  7. 1. I moved from radio to cds. I stopped there.
    2. Yes
    3. I played piano by ear. You can get a concussion that way! I don't have the attention span to learn.
    4. I play music in my head most days. Three Dog Night is romping in there right now.
    5. I'm a music nibbler. A little bit of everything except rap opera and classical. I like voices and words I can understand. Loathe auto tuning. Ella Fitzgerald rules! Dean Martin. Waylon Jennings. Dolly Parton. Eclectic, I guess.

  11. I haven't played the piano in years after a lifetime of lessons. It seems sad but I admit it is not something I desire to do other than to feel guilty for not playing.
