(OP)
Does anyone have a musical instrument they play as a hobby? I am very fond of my guitar.
And also, does the theory regarding the connection between musical ability and high performance in science/engineering/math still hold true?

As a young'un I had a few friends who were in amateur rock / metal bands, but I was quite content behind the scenes running the sound desk and PA. Another friend had a pile of old Rank-Strand lighting gear so we used to hire out our services for beer. Not even beer money - just direct payment in booze at the venue.

It is a capital mistake to theorise before one has data. Insensibly one begins to twist facts to suit theories, instead of theories to suit facts. (Sherlock Holmes - A Scandal in Bohemia.)

Having said that. I Have seen Led Zep twice in concert; the first time I saw them they were the opening number (ie the back-up band). That did not last very long.

Mostly though, I sing: Choral societies, chamber choirs and ad-hoc groups - the sort where you turn up to sight-read an eight part Victoria Mass plus three hymns, a motet and a couple of acres of plainsong off the back of forty minutes' practice at a service where the choir outnumbers the congregation, the celebrants outnumber the choir and the biggest problem is seeing the conductor through the smokescreen.

Supposedly debunked, in general. There's supposed to be some benefit that lasts about 15 minutes after the music.

But, if you've got ten minutes, you might as well learn something from this cool video.

The music was encoded in a simple text file.
It was a much smaller achievement than the Musicraft system, which used clock cycles for timing.
Regardless, the market for skilled 8080 programmers has become very limited.

Likely as limited as the FORTRAN I learned. Or the thing I tried to play in band class.

I once programmed a double nested loop and used a combination of AND/OR/NAND with the loop indices to compute the parameters for BEEP. What came out was very rhythmic, with moving themes. It would easily pass as experimental techno pop. I recorded it and brought it to school. Some laughed, one even tried to dance to it.
I see someone has a Lynx emulator on the WWW, so maybe I'll download it and see if I can recreate the "music".

Took piano lessons as a kid, but unfortunately wasn't able to continue. The Korg, Roland and Yamaha composer keyboards of today are awesome in sound quality and capability. Wish I knew how to drive one.
RE: Music
Well, it sure didn't for me. While I love music and spend a lot of time & $ listening to it, I have very little ability to make it. I played sax in concert and marching band in junior high and high school but I had no real talent. I could never hear a piece and recreate it and even when I played from sheet music it just never had the sparkle and inner beauty a true musician creates. I left my sax under my bed at home when I went to college. One of my nieces has it now although I don't think she's playing it at Drexel (they don't have a marching band, they don't have a football team).

I think that got debunked a while ago; it was lots of hype and hope.

I tried a bugle call. It has been too many years. It wasn't pretty.
