So long ago.

I have an undergraduate degree and two graduate degrees in science. One from McGill in Montreal and one from Freiburg, I've been a Geologist 'forever'. It's always been what I enjoyed...a foot in the lab or office and a foot out in Nature.

Employment never an issue if you are ready to relocate and quite lucrative if you're willing to earn your stripes.

However, I took a music course each year I was in university. Back in the mid 70's every other kid in music seemed to have a dozen years of piano or whatever under their belt. All I could do was noodle on the guitar. The teachers were good about it. I was lost at first in the theory but I got a bit of a free pass to just do my best. They always gave me at least a B or whatever. I also got to play with some Canadian artists at the time like Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell.

Now and then I've thought of taking a few more music courses at university. However, I'm so out of the music culture (there was music after the 70's?) that I'd probably feel like I'm on another planet. I can imagine sitting there listening to a teacher 20 years younger than me telling the class about archaic analog technology back in the 1970's.

Got for it Aerodynomite! It's never too late.
