[Petronius]

Greetings Colleagues from Hood Canal in the Peaceful Peoples Democratic Republic of Washington State.

I've been here for a couple of months now so I thought I should introduce myself.
I am a classically trained musician (low brass), and as you can guess I like to listen to classical music at realistic levels, which my beloved wife of 44 years puts up with
Being a musician who doesn't teach, You have to find a way to feed yourself. So I was for a time involved with audio retail (in the mid '70's ), moving to commercial (pro) audio and design.
I moved from there to being a Wine and Beer salesman and retired from that business a few years ago.
Music is the main thrust of my involvement in this hobby, and the recreation of the concert hall experience. Row 10 center .
There is nothing I enjoy more than sitting in my living room (scandinavian teak) with my best beloved, German Shepard at my feet,a glass of cab and BEETHOVEN AT FULL THROTTLE!
