I've been on the list awhile. Played professionally for 2 years a few 
too many decades ago. Used to write songs back then, too. Now play in my 
church band (contemporary Christian rock, some reggae). Getting back to 
writing songs and composing for my own enjoyment.

Instruments played (in chronological order): piano, organ, guitar, bass 
guitar, synthesizers, harmonica, and recorder. In the past, I've been 
known to sort of sing (I've been told I sound just like Jimmy Buffet on 
"Margaritaville", and I used to be able to sing old Neil Young songs 
like "On The Way Home" but I can't hit that high a pitch anymore) but I 
have no vocal training and generally don't sing.

Personal music likes: every musical genre except most modern jazz 
(sacrilege!) and rap. When my music collection is playing on shuffle 
mode, it's been known to play a performance of Pachelbel's Canon in D on 
original baroque instruments followed by Scottish punk music or 
Rasputina or Ars Nova ... I sometimes get weird looks from coworkers 
because of that!

Learned much about Linux as a music platform on the list, enjoy the wide 
variety of Linux audio software available, like listening to the many 
songs list members produce.

Currently slowly working on turning an old laptop into a Linux-based 
synthesizer/effects box to add to the live mix in the church band, and 
use for my own recordings. It's been fun!
