1. Did you pick up your instrument after high school graduation? Yes, when I had it overhauled for our son to learn to play his 6th grade year.

2. Do you still play? Where and when? I play with David on occasion, even once played with his sax choir when the bari player was ill. I quickly found out how much I forgot, but it was fun just the same. They were very patient. I could keep up with him for a while but he has since left me down in the 'dungeon' shall we say.

3. Do you still own your instrument? If not, where is it? From the second question, it's David's now. He has added a tenor and soprano to the collection.

4. If you have kids, how old are they? My wife claims two boys, an 18 year old and a 45 year old.

5. Are you a grandparent? Are you crazy?

6. Do any of your kids or grandkids play in the band? Robin was kind enough to place David's picture on the 'Photos' index page. He has an interest in auditioning for the Baylor Golden Wave Band this summer.

1. Did you pick up your instrument after high school graduation?
Yes; I played in the UT Longhorn Concert Band, then our church orchestra, and for a time, between 2nd and 3rd children, in the Austin Symphonic Band - got to travel with them to New Orleans for a concert. Fun trip!

2. Do you still play? Where and when?
Not much now, just for fun, usually for my kids or occasionally at church.

3. Do you still own your instrument? If not, where is it?
Yes, it sits next to my night stand so I can keep tabs on it. My kids like to get it out and honk it up, but they haven't quite figured out how to put the two big sections together without ripping the keys off...

4. If you have kids, how old are they?
I have three: Micah, 17; Jordan, 13; Hannah, 7

5. Are you a grandparent? No, and I remind my oldest son when he goes out with his girlfriend that I am too young to be a grandma and will be too young for a looooong time!

6. Do any of your kids or grandkids play in the band?
Well, not a school band. Micah plays guitar/sings in a church youth band, and a band he's put together with friends. They play gigs at small restaurants or coffee houses. Stays up half of most nights playing, writing music, and learning keyboard. Actually, a pretty talented kid.
Jordan is learning guitar, and Hannah piano. There is always an instrument playing at our house. It's quite nice.
