OK, then that makes sense.

Urb, music lessons were mandatory in my family too. We had to take piano lessons all summer when all the other kids got to play outside. I hated it at the time, but have to say I'm more grateful for it now.

I never did the cool stuff & play in a band, but I did play the violin for 5 yrs a lifetime ago. Still have it & a bunch a music. Hoping that one of the nieces or nephew would want to learn it one day so I can pass it on.

Right now, we want to find one of those victorian type bed and breakfasts so we can do a "classical" shot with it.

I used to have a Steinway Grand Piano too but could never play it That was just a touch nicer than the guitar.

Since when is playing a violin in a band considered "cool"?

That was the point, silly.

But our orchestra did have more rebels then the band members, most of us were into punk and new wave. They had partial shaved heads, mohawks and piercing everywhere before it was the thing to do. Me, I would color my hair in neon colors (green, pink....) and dressed either like a witch or a gypsy.

It made for more interesting performances with all of us in the standard black slacks/skirts and white tops and then see all of our hair styles.

And here I was thinking that your goal was to join a cool band & play your violin with them

I've been playing the piano since I was a kid... my grandparents got me a very nice Kimball upright with the make of a grand inside... excellent sound, even as many times as we've moved it.

I played guitar, clarinet, violin and saxaphone in Jr High/High School, but the piano is the only thing that really stuck.

My son plays bass - and is teaching himself guitar, we just discovered he is excellent at playing by ear. Hubby is a drummer (got him a DW set a few years ago - fortunately he doesn't play TOO often when I'm working - lol) but he's also learning the guitar. He doesn't know it but he's getting a Guild for his birthday this fall - I've been working on a 1965 acoustic (year of his birth) from a collector for awhile... it's gorgeous - he's going to love it... he's such a spoiled baby. lol

I used to be able to play the bass guitar at one time... I could play a lot of the police and cure songs.


I think walking on the moon was the first song i could play that people could recognize

Me too.

Here's a pic of the same Hohner Telecaster I have.
