"By ear" people amaze me. :~D

Me too! I have no musical talent at all but my sister can play piano, organ, accordian, clarinet, flute, etc. When she was only eleven years old she played piano and organ at the church we attended. She couldn't read music and didn't need to. She played beautifully.

Well, I was a mediocre trumpet player at best. Our band director had high hopes for me, following my brother who made "All State Band", "All NorthWest Band" and other accolades, but I think his ambitions for yet another star out of my family faded by the middle of my freshman year.... hehehe

Noticed you like to star gaze, something I'm considering, since I have a thought of moving to an area that has clear skies, at least in winter. Is there a way to mount a telescope to look both at stars and at objects at eye level?

OK, I saw Sam lookin at your profile, so I had to look! - You have some mighty cute smileys! I especially like this one...
