Welcome @Melody Sharp.

This art is imported from China.Entrepreneur: Houlihan’s Restaurant & BarHoulihan's is a restaurant that is known for it's live music. 

In the medium term I want the freedom to pursue music/circus at a high level while doing some amount of freelance software engineering (I'm currently a full time software engineer for a big company) on the side.Congrats on the contract! 

I think everyone understands the reason for locks and thermostats but I would also add lighting control so you can ensure everything is off once everyone leaves which would save a ton of money and speakers so you guests can enjoy music anywhere in the home if they want (after all it is a vacation :). 

I've been working for myself in the music industry for the last 10 yrs.

I find I rarely listen to music in the car anymore as I always have an audiobook or podcast going.

Brian, you sound like the Music Man in the musical teaching kids how to play instruments he sold as a con man who knew nothing about teaching music, he called his method the "Think System" if you think you can, you can, but with a little help they did get to 76 Trombones in their parade.

I found the one from the Music department interesting.

I'm ready to be CURED of the disease.I currently work as an insurance agent and a minister of music at a local church.

I want to buy a residence on Vancouver Island ASAP-tomorrow, and preferably one big enough & quiet enough to perform & record music in, (like a Yoga Studio or Warehouse).
