Well since I've only recently clocked up a quarter of a century, most people still seem old to me. Although they're getting younger. And the bloody kids, making a racket, and this was all fields... But good for you for playing instruments. I'd love to be more proficient, but although I understand the music, I have poor motor control - not like a disease, just an inherited trait. I can play the guitar and the piano, but only slowly. Too fast and my fingers can't decide where to go. That's why I love making music with modern equipment - trackers and sequencers are the two things that I couldn't live without. Anyway, sorry for the rant. I agree that singers that can't sing and instrumentalists who can't instrument (verb abuse) should be singing and instrumentalising. > Jan > > > -- "I'd crawl over an acre of 'Visual This++' and 'Integrated Development That' to get to gcc, Emacs, and gdb.
