<description><![CDATA[Hi Ben and Marky_UK, esp. - like any large company (or any random population) there are folks with various interests outside of work. For me, that is music. I sometimes share those things here on this blog because it helps to humanize this faceless entity called IBM. Even though we may never meet in person, at least we have a common interest now! and yes, there are a number of musicians in the ranks here and across IBM - we even had an internal battle of the bands contest in IBM!<br /><br />thanks for posting.
