| #5 1) Zen, do you use any wooden instruments during your performances? Absolutely. The first woodwind I learned to play was a German tenor recorder that trained me to become more fluent upon the silver flute and saxophone later on. The instruments I play consist of: Tenor Flute Alto Flute Bamboo flute (several registers) Sakuhachi Bamboo Flute Penny Whistle (several registers) Clarinet Bass Clarinet Soprano Saxophone Alto Saxophone C-Melody Saxophone Tenor Saxophone Classical Guitar Steel String Guitar Solid Body Electric Guitar Hollow Body Electric Guitar Electric Bass Guitar Piano Electronic Keyboard Electronic Synthesizer Tenor Recorder Alto Recorder Soprano Recorder Sopranino Recorder Harmonica Steel Drums (Lead, Second Lead, Soprano, Cello, Guitar and Bass) Jews Harp I own most of the instruments mentioned above. I've led and produced open microphones featuring a wide range of musical styles. I also compose in classical, jazz, rock, rhythym & blues, blues, hard rock, acid rock, baroque, Rennaisance, Indian, Arabic, folk, Irish and other styles. Please let me know if I've left anything out. Music is my life. The day job just pays for the instruments. |

| #2 Quite simply, a loss. While I've never been a big fan of opera, as a vocalist, composer, musician and public performer I've always kept a sense of respect for those who entertain with class and skill. This increasingly deprived world will be a poorer place without her. |

| #1 A real shame. She's always been a class act. |
