Do you play any musical instruments?
I played the alto saxophone in my school years except for a couple of years when I switched to the trumpet. I musty admit that I liked the Sax best but was glad to have learned the trumpet since it came in handy trying to play the Kudu horn in scouting and the bugle that was given to me since I played the trumpet and thus could play it as well. It was a bugle that dad had for some reason and I was lucky enough to get it. I have used it in scouting several times especially during Timberline. I never became really accomplished at the trumpet at least not as much as the sax but I enjoyed playing them anyway.
I had 8 piano lessons and have regretted not keeping up with it but I had no use for wasting my time practicing the piano when I was 8 years old. It is a skill I have often wished that I had stuck with just since it is so useable.
