Okay, it's actually happening in another four hours, but soon enough. Why is it relevant here? For the better part of the last six years I have been in a relationship where for some insane reason I put my music on hold. I hardly listened to anything I liked (because she didn't like it. What was I thinking?) and didn't create anything, either. Some of you must be wondering whether I can play at all. Embarrassing, really. I finally had to break it off. In March I met someone wonderful-er. It's been just a short time, but we have no secrets and both know what we want, so we made an executive decision to get hitched. The ceremony is today at 2:00 p.m. Eastern time. Among her many great qualities is the fact that she is a musician, too. (Baritone sax. She hasn't played in years, but we're going to fix that.) She is really into what I do (Yes, I actually compose and play.  ) Finally, I can put on my music, turn it up, and know that she digs it, too. What a breath of fresh air. I just moved in yesterday, so it's going to take a while to dig out. No promises as to when I will start producing, but I look forward to sharing some of my stuff with you guys relatively soon. It has been far too long. Richard

Consider getting her a Yamaha WX5 Wind MIDI controller - it fingers quite like a saxophone. If you can find a discontinued VL70-m sound module (also Yamaha) that is the best one for wind synth.
Then she can play bari, alto, tenor, trombone, trumpet, cornet, flugelhorn, and hundreds of other instruments.
Congratulations, I wish you many years of wedded bliss. Now go make some beautiful music together!!!

Bob, I thought you'd like the sax thing. Thanks for the advice on the electronic dealie. I had thought of it too, but didn't know which one to go for. I can't wait to hear her play and find out what we can do together!

Mac, we've been majoring in that. It's why we were able to make a commitment so quickly. We are completely open with each other--no secrets and no unpleasant surprises. (We are still pleased to keep finding areas of compatibility and similar tastes.)

I can't wait to hear her play and find out what we can do together! [Richard], you mean you have not heard her play yet and you are still getting married? It must be true love, best of luck my friend. I have accepted her as a musician on the same basis on which you have collectively accepted me. She talks the talk, and we clearly have many shared values, musical and otherwise. It's the first time I've had a partner who could knowledgeably point out things about the music we listen to, and even about my own playing. Besides, she laughs at my jokes!  Clearly a treasure not to be passed up.

Ryszard My wife and I join to wish the two of you many blessed and happy years ahead of you. We know what it is like having a common interest of music. It makes life considerably easier when you want to buy equipment or software. Don't be in a hurry to discover all about each other - a relationship blossoms when at intervals each one digs up another gem from your partner. Kevin

Obviously I won't be able to make it to the wedding but I wouldn't miss the honeymoon for anything.

Congratulations. Tell her to play a nice fat low A for us. She will understand. And any animals in the neighborhood will vacate, too!

Congratulations to both of you. I hope you have a long and happy marriage.
Notes beat me to the punch about a wind controller. Another wind controller option is the EWI-USB. This may be a good starter wind controller for her due to the fact that it is relatively inexpensive as far as wind controllers go. There are no included sounds but it works with every MIDI soft and hard synth that I have tried it with.
My goal this weekend is to move just enough each day so that no one pokes me to see if I'm dead or not.
