I love hearing about what  everyone does, is interested in, what the family 
is like etc! We have quite  the talented and eclectic group.  Keep it 
coming.

oh,  btw, I also love to fish. Fresh water/lakes,  catch and release, large 
mouth bass are the game of  choice.

I was a bass player for many years until I listened to the  Moodies and saw 
Michael Iceberg.  After getting goosebumps, I  was hooked and bought a 
Chamberlain M-1 from Mr. Harry and Richard.   I played in a lot of local cover 
bands over the years and when I switched over  to keys, I was fortunate to 
play with another keyboardist who played piano,  organ and synth which let me 
concentrate on my Chamberlain, Polymoog and  mini-moog (late 70's).  I have 
switched back and forth between bass &  keys, but keyboards are where my 
heart is at.  I've been married for 20  years with 2 dogs and work for a 
Tourism Board which requires traveling quite  a bit and keeps me from being in a 
band.  I really enjoy creating  music, but need to get some recording gear.

I'm described as a "Servicing Technician" by the National Health Service,  
though my qualifications and experience would probably suggest that I'm an  
Engineer. I repair, maintain and commission patient-connected Medical  
Equipment ("machines that go 'ping'!") at one of the 2 main hospitals in  
Edinburgh, Scotland. I can't stand the job, as it's dull, boring, repetitive,  
mind-numbing, etc. However, they probably do over-pay me. Before that, I was  an 
Electronic Development Test Engineer with a Defence Electronics Company,  
also in Edinburgh, testing and re-designing Test Equipment for Airborne Radar 
 Systems - happy days!

I'm married, with NO kids. I let my job spill  into my private life, and I 
design digital electronic stuff that has nothing  to do with 
Micro-processors or Micro-controllers, as I have NEVE got to grips  with them - they are a 
very black art. The Motorola 6802 is about my limit! I  compile numerical 
puzzles that are about 2 or 3 steps beyond Sudoku - I've  compiled over 3,300 
of them with a view to submitting them to a national daily  newspaper for 
publication. I'm also interested in public transport, such as  railways, buses 
and trams (or streetcars if you're west of the puddle). Yeah,  I know - sad 
as you like!
I am NOT (by any stretch of the imagination) a  musician, though I try to 
make acceptable sounds & noises with my CS01,  PSRE-333 and M400. If I want 
more stuff, then I'll have to move house, cos I  ain't got the room.

Any  questions?
