Probably. At least among the geeks I know it is.
I played violin (parents' choice) and steel guitar (my choice) as a
teenager, but after high school my lifestyle was too mobile to keep up
with instruments.
I love singing, too, and when I worked in the West Texas oilpatch, my
crewmates always told me I should sing tenor.
Tenor twelve miles down the road, they meant. :)
