How many of us here are musicians? And what instrument(s)?

I take my D frustrations out on poor, unsuspecting, guitars and keyboards ...

Oh yes!
But I don't play an instrument, I compose.

I have a strong suspicion that there are likely to be many polymaths in amongst this newsgroup. Creativity is rarely channelled in one direction only (software). I'd expect to find that many of us are also artists, writers, etc..

Singing, saxophon, dancing - what do you want? Funny thing though: Even though I am a completely rational thinker when it comes to physics, math and computers, I never got along well with music theory. I enjoy it and feel when it is right or wrong, but I have never really understood the explanations why it should be that way...

Does composing count?

That's scary.  I play guitar and keyboards too.  Even toured with a local band around here (Washington, DC) for a while last year.  Although, I've been writing so much code lately, the strings have been getting a bit rusty. :(

I failed at playing the trumpet. Does that count?

That's odd Eric; I find that D has me playing more often than before ... <g>
