Music has been a big part of my life since age 5, when I discovered that I could plink out any song I heard on the radio. (We didn't have a TV until 1947.)

While I made a good living from my musical endeavors, the primary reason I played was because it allowed me to use my creativity. This is still the case today, even though I retired a couple years ago. I still sit down at the keyboard at least 3 nights each week and just play. And, I still, at age 77, still try to learn new songs, then put my own spin on them.

Good subject, Russ,
