Thread: Are You A Real Man? Do You Think You Can Hone? Shave Off Of Your 1k Hone

I'm old so a long time, but nothing near professional. When I was in high school, I could not decide between going to college to become a doctor or going into the Navy band to go toward professional. Unfortunately, I did not get into the Navy band. Two weeks after starting college I got a call notifying me that I was accepted into the Air Force band. They were offering me the opportunity to start basic training in just a few weeks. Maybe if they had contacted me BEFORE I started school, I might have gone. I should have gone. It would have made college later a lot easier to pay for but I already had my first taste of freedom and I could not let that go! Ultimately I ended up becoming neither a doctor nor a musician.

I played in college and since then have occasionally played in community bands and theater orchestras, but not really at all for the past nearly 10 years. I do miss it. I have good intentions to get back into it, at least playing with my home town's community brass band again next year, but those priorities keep right on interfering. Winning the PowerBall would help immensely, but I suppose I'd occasionally have to buy one to do that.
