  1. Good day everyone. Unless some of you aren't saying, seems that I'm the old guy here. My name is Bill Wilcox and I'm a 46 year old architect living in St. Louis. Born and raised in northern New Jersey, majored in architecture at Washington University, where I met my wife. Married in 1982 and landed in Cardinal-land when my career was the easier to move than hers. Currently working for Hastings+Chivetta Architects drawing construction documents for collegiate and municipal athletic facilities. Our son turned 13 in January and my hobbies include photography, model trains and (ahem) music. I've played piano, clarinet and acoustic guitar at one time or another since I was 8, and have sung in church choirs, small ensembles and an acapella jazz vocal group off and on since high school. I currently play synthesizers in my church's praise and worship band. An Ensoniq SD1 and Roland JV1080 form my rig and my live playing centers around strings, organs, vocal pads and miscellaneous odd noises. I also program percussion loops and full length song tracks for rehearsal and performance. Being part of a live band has been an incredible experience. Musical ability is something God gave all of us here and using it for Him has opened opportunities I would never thought possible. Both the challenges of learning my instrument and learning new songs quickly and the joy of making music with others are experiences I'd never want to give up. My musical goals are somewhat fuzzy, but I'd probably focus on improving my playing, arranging and writing skills, playing more outside of worship for the general public. And playing with most any of my favorite recording artists wouldn't be to shabby either. Thanks for the soapbox, it still seems to have some life left in it.... Next?
