[QUOTE="Dannyalcatraz, post: 2830180, member: 19675"] I grew up the son of a music teacher- music lessons were a given. I sing (when allergies permit), used to play cello, occasionally play my fretless accoustic-electric bass guitar, and play some kind of music on my Yamaha classical, Ovation Elite, or my Dean EVO Special Select or Cadillac Time Capsule* electrics on a daily basis...all for personal enjoyment. The last group I belonged to/public performance was when I was 6th chair cellist in the Denver Student Orchestra in the late 1970's- one year after taking up the instrument. For the record, the 1st & 2nd chair cellists both played professionally as well, so I was pretty hot stuff- "gifted" was used to describe me. However, one of my teachers in the '80s made cello into a chore, and I quit. Now...I'm an entertainment attorney. The music lessons etc. give me a really good perspective on the whole biz. *see my avatar [/QUOTE]
