to be honest, I probably could make a decent living as a musician. But I chose a different path. I know a fair amount of scientists that could be making a living that way. One of our programmers toured with a number of major jazz artists on trombone.
Caltech had two jazz big bands. The Thursday night band was pretty good. They also had chamber groups as well. My ex wife was a bassoonist who subbed with the Pacific Symphony, played drums in the Monday night jazz band, and finished her phd in mechanical engineering from Caltech, now up at Sandia.
