Oh, I am also a money manager. I live in Santa Barbara, but I have many friends in Boston, where I used to live.
I have had piano lessons, but the only "instrument" I play these days is the stereo. I am a listener. You might say music is my religion, and the concert hall is my church!

Please do not be put off if you don't know much about classical music. If you would like to learn, then I would like to teach. One of my greatest joys in life has been guiding eager newcomers as their appreciation of the genre blossoms.
A long distance relationship is not ideal, but OK. My best friend lives in West Virginia. We sometimes listen together online, with a text chat window open.
