[musictlk] Introducing Myself:

[Linda Mentink]

Hi Carol Ann,

Welcome. Thanks for sharing your story. I know God got you through.

This list was created for discussion of music, and you didn't mention 
it in your introduction. Do you play an instrument, or sing, or 
anything like that?

Blessings,

Linda Mentink
