Introduction	I studied music composition in college, and I am still enamored of music with counterpoint. I spent several years as a piano instructor, then became a children's entertainer for about 10 or 12 years. My wife and I wrote children's songs, and I went around doing magic tricks, storytelling, and performing the songs. I have moved into database development and administration, as well as being a student of religion, philosophy. I also do a lot of writing.
