Well, since we're into confession time- I have a Bachelor of Music from the SFConservatory of Music. My main instrument was (note past tense) viola and my other was flute. I also played the piano as well.

Re Harpsichords-I used to play in a chamber group in Berkeley. We played with a double keyboard Sperhake (Spelling) which I loved for Bach et al as well. There is nothing like a beautiful musical instrument. (V's piano fits in that category although I haven't heard who makes it!)

Now all of my time is devoted to cycling and work. I still love music, it just isn't a 12 hour a day passion anymore. Viola gone to a good home as have flute and piano.

Now, back to cycling.....
