Haha, thanks, but sadly my knowledge isn't what it used to be, and Google is a large part of my memory bank nowadays. I have a great love for music still (although I was always an all-practice-no-theory musician) but my fingers have lost a lot of dexterity.

I used to play saxophone and piano, and I'd have a go at other instruments, while my wife played trumpet, violin, guitar and piano. We try to nourish the same interest in our children and they're both doing fantastically. As well as singing, our son also plays horns, guitar/bass and piano, and was named music prefect for his school this year. Our daughter also sings, plays violin, horns and piano.. They also study music theory, and have taken to arrangement and writing their own pieces. We're (still) part-way through fitting out some shipping containers as a music studio so they'll have a dedicated area to explore music. We have a baby grand piano in the house but that won't go out there.

I'm kind of envious of their involvement in music and wish I hadn't given up when I found cars. I also have no idea what they're saying most of the time when they're talking about their compositions, I just try to nod and say "uh-huh" in the right places.
