Thanks Roger. Very cool. And similar path to mine.
I too auditioned and got into music school as a performance (sax) major and although I went through with it, realized in my second year I'd never make a living at it so hunkered down in a double major with computer science. Nice thing was that at the time, early 80s, electronic music (midi) was just beginning so I got to blur the lines between my music and computer studies.
Still play but mostly piano and mostly for my two daughters.
Cheers,
Peter

Sparky, That's a noble profession. If it hadn't been for my Jr High band teacher I'd never have chosen music. Was still in touch with him up until he died a few years ago. He was one of 3 or 4 big impact teachers I had during my grade school years.

I've just skimmed through this thread, and I'm amazed at what an incredible pool of talent and skill is here. I plan to dip into this well frequently.

My wife Diane, and I work in the emergency department as registered nurses. There are four other RNs who work in the ED that climb. That's kind of cool.

MS in Geophysics, I now do data visualization and database work for an environmental engineering company. I've been here almost 16 years. It's really the only real job I've ever had. I like the people I work with and I can leave it behind every day.
Enjoying watching my 13 yo son learn to climb and kayak these days.

I take care of a Silverback gorilla named Ndume. It is very interesting work, but hard on the ol' lower back (read lots of cleaning!). -And yes, before you ask, I do study him climbing on the structures everyday. He is a "stemmer rather than a mantler".
