Hello my name is Dan. I’m married to my high school sweetheart, last summer was 27 years. I’ve got four children, and just became a grandfather. I enjoy music of all kinds but my favorite is Native American Flute and other world flute music. I play the NAF and currently own about 200 flutes. My objectives are to be able to play any and all flutes of the world. I also hope to release my first cd very soon. I enjoy teaching people how to play and express themselves with the flute. I lead a flute circle in Baraboo, WI called SPIRIT LAKE FLUTE CIRCLE. Started back in 2005 website is www.spiritlakeflutecircle.com

I’ve been playing for just over 4

Also play many other instruments

Sing with your flute, and give thanks for another day.

Blessings

Hi Bearbelly,

What a great poll. I hope more people will come here and find it.

I have been playing the piano since I was five years old. I also play a baritone ukelele, as well as the smaller one. I play accordion, self-taught, so I'm not fantastic, but I did play for an Octoberfest a few years ago, and it was really fun.

I have released three CD's, one original, one Christmas and one which is just a few pieces I really enjoy playing. I have also played on other people's CD's.

I've been musical director for four musicals in a local theater near me, as well as accompanied performers in San Francisco and New York. I played at the White House when I was seventeen, with a group of blind and visually impaired kids, and have even played for Julie Andrews, but that was many, many years ago.

I look forward to going to your web site, and hope others will take the poll and tell us about themselves.

Thank you for starting this.

Debbie

I too can play several instruments. I've always been musically inclined, can pretty much pick up any instrument and learn how to play within minutes. I played the Clarinet for 9 years. I gave it up after I graduated high school. I really do miss it. Playing the clarinet was my one place I felt at peace when playing it. I always felt like I had no worries in the world. I know since you guys are also musically inclined, that you can understand what I mean when I say I'm "At Peace". Music is what helps me keep my sanity!!! Thanks for posting this!! I will definitely keep up with this one!! Music is such Beautiful Art!!! May it bring peace to others around the world!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
