The "Keys" part of my name comes from the several years I spent as a keyboard player in a five piece rock group (and the time when I lived on a sailboat in the Florida Keys). We worked large clubs 3 to 6 nights a week and practiced once a week, with maybe one week off a year. I only wish I had thought to wear ear protection. The double stack guitar amplifier always to my right has left me with very little range of hearing in my right ear. My whole family is now into target shooting and I keep enough "eyes and ears" protection in the car for all of us. We too have used the ear plugs and muffs for a lot of events besides shooting. Regards, Keys
