) 138 in a 35.
When I was in the music department back in school (I mean: w-a-y b-a-c-k), we only had about 90 kids total and my senior class only had about 12 musicians, but most of us are still in the biz either teaching or performing. I’m glad to hear that your DS is carrying on your family tradition. The world needs more fiddlers. I honestly think it ought to be a law that everyone should at least learn the basics for at least one musical instrument. Then no mater what, evey person would have at least one thing in common that transcends their background, class, race, nationality and even language. That would be good for all of us. 
I drove cars that stuck out either visually or audibly when I was younger. The net result of that was in essence like waving a red flag at every cop I encountered (young punk; fast car; instant ticket). I’ve paid my share of fines, and got it all out of my system. It’s just expensive. Now I’m not so young, I stick to “boring looking” cars and make sure that there is always at least one other driver in the area that’s traveling faster then I am.
but what do you think about Disney World???" (I'm not a beach person,
I've heard so much about around here.
