Post by: greenacres on September 18, 2013, 02:10:04 PM: I thought so BigWull, but I wasn't sure. I should have asked my daughter's boyfriend. He has his masters degree in music. He's a blues musician. He won "Battle of the Bands", when it was on TV. I took classical piano for 5 years, and decided, through my husband's prompting, to stick to tennis. ;D He couldn't take the repetition. I decided I'll play again when I can't walk anymore, lol. I'm more athletically inclined. :)
