The words "not by choice" raise the eyebrow. As for me, I've played professionally, but not for the past 15 years or so.
>>not to mention my hundreds of cookbooks!
Egad. That reminds me. I have very few of mine listed. Funny, how often people note that music and food (and musicians and cooking) seem to go together.
>>Have you read Gopnik's book on Darwin and Lincoln (Angels and ages)
No, I haven't, but I must say I felt rather dumbfounded when I saw that issue of Newsweek with Darwin and Lincoln sharing the cover. I fail to see much similarity between the them. Very little in fact. From what I know of Lincoln (admittedly, much less than Darwin) he was not so morally enlightened as he is often made out to be.

However we do seem to share a few common interests (horn, the beats)....etc.
