There is never a night that music is not being played in our home. Loud! We moved to another county just because of the noise ordinance (not really but, it was a great incentive). Who wants to stop playing at 11:00?
I used to play bass Air guitar but one day I forgot it at a party - I went back the next day to get it and the guy said he didn't see it. Cheers!

Hello there Easyjolene.. Sure do. I hit things with sticks... I started wayyy back in elementary school on a snare, back when schools had orchestras graduated to a set in 4th grade and was brought to the jr. high school down the street to play with their stage band. during high school I was fortunate to go to a jazz clinic run by Stan Kenton for a few weeks out of the summers, did that for 3 years. I also during those years played in a band that did 3 tours, one was throughout 17 states, another was up to Canada, Vancouver island and the last was down south to L.A and San Diego. when I graduated, went into the army, when I got out I went to find fame in Reno where I got a gig playing for a one hit wonder band that was living off their 1 song...when that didn't work out I moved back to the bay area and quit playing, I got married, then divorced and ended up raising my kids on my own. They are now grown and on their own and Dad has started playing again. I am now doing studio work with a few guys I met and we are putting together our own music now. We have no illusions of becoming famous and we are not interested in playing any shows, it is just for our own satisfaction and enjoyment, and we are enjoying it a lot... During the years I have also become proficient in guitar and piano
I studied flute for 9 years and played that and piccolo in symphonic bands in high school and marching and pep bands in college. I also sang in several a capella groups and glee clubs.
Keyboards, rhythm guitar and I also played an euphonium in the high school orchestra more than thirty years ago. But my best instrument is voice - I'm an operatic baritone.
I don't play guitar much anymore - I played and sang The Carnival Is Over at my mother's funeral (she was a Seekers fan), and I get too emotional when I handle the instrument.

When I was in high school I played baritone horn. I wanted to play guitar but there weren't any guitar teachers. Since then I have always played a recorder, but I never found any musical atmosphere and never learned to play well. A few years ago I bought a dobro, but the only way I could learn was by buying lessons from youtube at forty bux each, so I didn't continue that very long. The basic problem is that music just never got me any friends.
