Grammar school. It was probably about 5th grade or so, and I just got braces. I played the trumpet. I used to have to pull my lips off my braces. GROSS!

Signed up for "Strings" in the 4th grade at Westview Elementary in Lee's Summit, MO (ca. 1971) The instrument was actually chosen for me because of my size (very tall). I was given the violin. The first couple of years, we "plucked" out Twinkle, Twinkle. I wasn't fond of dragging this violin to & from school, but did it daily despite. My parents bequeathed me my Great-Grandfathers old fiddle -spent money to upgrade it's dilapidation. I felt proud to show off this great antique! By the time I got to high school, the skeleton fell out of the closet! I was revealed when the instructor ask me to solo a small part in front of the class. I COULDN'T READ MUSIC!!!!!!!!! How did I pull off playing only by ear for this many years? I don't know, but I immediately decided that this violin was much too heavy to drag to and from school every day.

I learned to play the piano when I was 7, flute when I was 9, and guitar when I was 16. Interestingly, the only instrument that I continue to play is the piano.
