I asked her yesterday ( a very busy day). She is definetly a synth head - the sounds are
so much more interesting then the organ music around when she was a kid. She used to
roller skate in one of the many rinks in the city where they probably used Wurlitzers. But
she definintly likes synth music.

She is actually more liberal than my sister. My sister, mother, wife, and I walked through
the red light district in Amsterdam at my mothers request. My sister was shocked.

We stopped in Sloppy Joe's in Key West on another trip. My mother and I sait listening to
the bands and drinking bear. My sister went back to the hotel to watch the batchelor.

So far the oldest I've heard from is 60. Any one want to claim older?

For you whipper snappers, you're all too old. Wasn't there a discussion a few days ago
about how old to wait to teach them soldering? I know I've seen discussions of 3 year olds
playing with equipment. My 20 month old granddaughter was pressing keys on a Roland before
she was 1. My son says I can't teach her to solder until she is old enough to pronounce
the word.

This weekend, if we're in town, I'll compile the stats and put them is an e-mail.
