Hi Scott.
Play arranger keyboard is a hobby to me.
I´m mechanical engineer and I worked during twenty years as a quality control manager in a German Factory (KolbenSchmidt) for engine pistons . Today I´ve a shirts industry (very small) and a small store that attend clients that want to do theirs shirts under- measure.
Cheers. Armando

I have been self employed for 34 yrs. I used to have a full service electric store. If it run on electricity we sold it & or repaired it.
15 yrs. ago I sold the business & now I'm semi retired, anyway that's what it started out to be, but now is pretty much full time. I started a small one man electric motor sales & service shop at my home 5 miles from the closest town thinking I wouldn't get to much business out in the country. (So much for that idea)
Oh well some day I will just close it up & do nothing but play MUSIC. Denny

University professor in special education (34 years). Retirement coming soon---then music full-time. Play bass in a 4-piece jazz combo; guitar in a pop/oldies group; and now, more solo work on guitar/vocals with backing tracking tracks from arranger boards. By the way, the advice, help, suggestions, etc. offered on this forum have been invaluable for folks like me, who more or less backed into the keyboard market.
I work for a telecommunication company, supporting one of their network services and software packages. Seems like many musicians are in the computer field. A young man just started working with me as a co-worker, and I call him a techno-tweab. He has numerous computers at home; apple, pc, linux. Loves routers and firewalls,etc. Just found out that he plays guitar. My supervisor is highly technical and just purchased a Yamaha A1000. Very interesting. Left brain - right brain balancing. On the weekend I do gardening, cut trees. Basically physical work. High tech (during the week) - low tech (on weekends). Starkeeper

I play Roland EM20 and Yamaha PSR550
I teach the 6th grade, as well as General Music to the rest of our school, which starts at Kindergarten and goes through the eighth grade.
I guess the only interesting thing about my story is that I'm only 20 years old. As long as I keep it a secret from my students, they'll never guess - they think I'm at least 30.
Getting to where I am now has been quite a journey and it's a strange story, to say the least. Sometimes I think about how my life has worked out so far, and I get the creepy feeling that God is setting me up for something.
