I'm an atheist living in Massachusetts.  I was brought up fundamentalist/evangelical in the south, and most of my extended family's crazy-nutso Christian, some still actively trying to bring me back to Jesus...even though I've been an atheist significantly longer than I was a Christian.  Fortunately my husband and son are atheists and supportive.  I'm a musician and music teacher.    

I recognize some names from TTA (which is having some technical difficulties right now) and see many new ones.  Looking forward to getting acquainted!

Welcome to the forum.

Welcome Woof!

What do you play and teach?

(hoping for death metal pan flute)

There's no Picard facepalm smiley. We need one.

PS Welcome to our crazy neck of the woods. Don't mind the body parts in the corner, that's just the Australian surgeon.

Welcome!

I'm best at clarinet, but I double on sax and flute, and I also sing.  I teach clarinet and piano.   Don't play piano much for $ anymore because of a hand injury a few years back.   

Death metal pan flute: now added to my bucket list.

Lots of cross-pollination between us and TTA. 

Glad you found us.
