| How many fencers are also musicians?
I was just wondering how many fencers were also musicians because in my school almost every fencer is a musician(except for me).

| Not a musician--a consumer of music. I'm the non-musician in my family.

| Oooooo! Oooooo! Pick me! Let me gloat!
As of last Tuesday, I'm done with everything except my dissertation for a doctorate in music. Mind you, it's been years since I was a _musician_ - fencing got in the way - but somehow I'm still involved with music. | |

| I used to play the trumpet. I still pick up my horn every now and again, but I've definetly lost my touch. *sigh* I've also wanted to learn how to play the guitar.. perhaps I'll try it later.

| I play the piano and guitar, so yeah, I think I consider myself a musician
Well, I used to play the guitar (acoustic)...I played classical and spanish music...no time to play it anymore but I still play the piano.
I think most fencers are musicians...every fencer I know in the club plays a musical instrument or at least used to play.

I never fell out of sync when it came to the music, though.
