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

#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.

#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.
