Do You Play an Instrument?

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 play bass guitar in a band, probably because I can't play anything else. Here's some pix from a gig we did 1.5 weeks ago, just look for the one with the 4-string guitar
