It's funny, my mom made me take piano lessons when I was young and did it for a few years. Once I quit the lessons, I never really went back. However, music appreciation remained and I enjoy a range of music from classical to Nillas Metallica. It could be in my blood as my ancestors were musicians and choir masters. I think my mom lost me though when she made me play at a recital on opening day of fishing season. (back when there was one)

It is the only thing in my upbringing for which I never forgave my folks.

I hope you called DCFS on her.

I think it was Robert Ruark who penned, "when you are young, the world is full of injustices and all of them are aimed squarely at you." Your story triggered a memory where I also suffered an egregious assault on my liberties during the days of my youth. During my freshman year of high school, the Cedar High School band had to play in the Iron County parade. Some sick [email protected] thought it would be funny to schedule the parade on the opening day of grouse season! I think a congressman, a senator, and Bill Clinton all got an earful over that one.
