[musictlk] Just curious

[Ken The PionEar]

When I was in high school, my choir teacher played the part on piano for me 
and sang it. That was very helpful, but I know most college level teachers 
wouldn't have the time for that. :)
Check out my games at
www.ThePionEar.net
and my music, and that of my band, at
www.ThePionEar.net/BlindLabyrinth.html .
Also, check out, "The Believer and Skeptic Show," at iTunes!
If you want to reach me, you can call 419-744-0517, friend me on Facebook, 
(KenWDowney,) or write me at kenWDowney at me.com .
