Do You Play an Instrument?

[Verbal]

Jim, that looks like a pretty nice Gibson... any reason for getting rid of it? I'm a Fender fan myself... my weapon of choice is my Telecaster Special Edition, though I don't think the neighbors appreciate it nearly as much as me.

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.

Jim, sounds like a nice instrument you have. Why not pick it up and learn a few chords

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 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
