"Solo" Musicians Gather to Flock Together

I am watching TV, and they were showing the blue whale, the largest known animal in the world.

I noticed the background music sounded like high-pitched choral singing with an orchestral group in the background.

I wish I could just participate in something like that and have already long quit the piano and organ.

If I knew a bit earlier even that I could rent instruments, I would have been learning the oboe.  I am doing violin, now.

You know, they really have a comfortable life, in a way.  They play instruments that play one line.  They start in grade school and perform every semester.  They can join a group rather than becoming like the phantom of the opera in their basement playing and singing along but almost always alone.

Actually, I've been in church/school choir mostly age 8-18.  It was actually one of the biggest things of my life.
