Yay for music! I'm an upper bass, too, but both the gay men's chorus and the barbershop chorus only have a single bass section.

Good luck on the piano! I was just thinking tonight listening to a ragtime cd that this is a skill I wish I had developed decades ago. I took one semester of piano lessons in college when I was 20, but the elderly instructor was less than gracious and complimentary about my abilities. ;-)
