I took piano lessons for 3 years, but somehow got away with never having to learn how to read music. My teacher would just fill in the letters above each note. I really regret that now.
My other connection to the music world is I'm a marching band widow. My boyfriend of 3 years is a member of the LSU Golden Band From Tigerland. I vascilate between being so proud of him and hating the whole thing for taking up so much time
. Any other band/non-band relationships out there that are like this?
