Do you play an instrument?
 

(Sorry if this has been posted recently; I haven't located the search field in the updated forum. :shrug: )

I do not.
I know Deanna does.
I'm guessing many posters do.
And I only love them when they're playing. ;)

I used to play the cello, but haven't in six years. :(

What? Wherever did you get that idea :shrug:

;)

Yeah...I play percussion...but haven't in a long while...so I pretty much only play drums (set) now...and that is also a rarity...BUT I am playing with a local band in the next couple of weeks (before I leave for D.C.)

I kind of play piano as well...but I'm not very good at it :)

I tried to teach myself guitar, but got frustrated and decided to stick with what I know...

I like the cello. The Yom HaShoah services I've attended in Austin & Houstin the last few years typically begin with a cello player performing the theme to Schindler's List. Beautiful sound.

I was known in band for my superb tambourine playing skills! :laugh: I actually really was known for that though because I was in the auxiliary percussion/xylophone section, and my teacher always wanted me to play the tambourine for a song during half-time shows because of how much I got into the music. But, in a more serious matter, I can also play the xylophone and can plunk out some things still on the piano. I took piano lessons for six years and quit...the worst mistake I ever made.

Somewhere in the parallel universe where destiny rules, there's a poster named TriangleClinkerDeanna. ;)

Did you do the Gold and Braid high kicks with the tambourine?
I wish I could play the piano. It's my favorite, along with the cello.

- Jake

I've never taken piano lessons but if I listen long enough and concentrate, depending on the song (nothing technical and intricate), there's a good chance I'll able to play it back.

All your Fabulous Baker Boys/Michelle Pfeiffer on the piano impressions have paid off. :D

BTW, I got your PM but am not seeing an option to reply, only to forward. Any clue?

- Jake

*dusts off red dress*

That's right....coordinator by day....lounge singer by night :laugh:

Hmm....i would think there should be an option to reply. If not, I suppose it will work to just send a new message instead of hitting reply? I'm not sure. This is all still strange with an element of familiarity...if that makes any sense

Yes...
 

I can play guitar, bass, drums & keyboard/piano (I'm not a great kb/piano player whatsoever).

Kinda strange but noone else in my family is musically gifted (But my 11 yr.old niece Kendra will soon be starting piano lessons...The brat has the longest fingers I have ever seen, Bad enough she looks identical to me, But to have God curse her with those big ol' flapjack hands is another thing!!!)

I can play Happy Birthday on the keyboard and that's it :shrug:

Well, not really. I have a pretty good ear for music, but I can't play an instrument for the life of me. I can pick certain songs out on the keyboard (I can play U2's October, the piano version of SOTM, etc), but I can't play any actual songs. I can sing, but that's not exactly an instrument... lol. I did figure out how to play Jefferson Airplane's White Rabbit on a toy guitar, though :laugh:.

Jake - scary that you should mention this.
I play piano by ear but yesterday at my folk's place for Easter, my dad (who can play guitar well) was trying to figure out NGBA. I got inspired and had a go, and soon found myself playing something remotely similar to The Chain. When I got home today I recorded it! Not bad for second day on guitar, but be prepared for a giggle, especially when I make the mistake of trying to sing on it, despite having to sing so softly in order for neighbouring apartments not to hear. (I started singing and I thought I heard the people upstairs packing their things.)

The Chain

With your voice it is, Kate. :nod:

Awww, Joe... Thank you :). That's very kind of you to say that. I love your take on The Chain, by the way

I played the trumpet in High School. I was very good (first chair). I also play the piano a tiny bit, which is ashame because I have a beautiful one (Steinway M crica 1933 or so - mahogany). I love it, but do not do it justice with my plucking on the keys. :laugh:

I play the guitar.. Not exactly the most unusual instrument in the world! :lol:

Although I do play a Turner Model 1 these days which is the most awesome guitar on the planet IMO... :thumbsup:


:wavey: :wavey:

One or two. ;)

Now I'm only concentrating on further continuing my piano studies.. but I continue to play my guitar, bass, and flute on the side.

I play a few other wind instruments, but I'm not currently studying those.

I took piano lessons for about 8 years. I also played the flute in junior high. I really need to get back to playing the piano again.

I play the guitar, and a bit of keyboard. I love it.

Well, I have been playing the guitar for about a month now, if you can call it playing. :shrug: I know all my major chords, a few minor chords, and one song.:p

Otherwise, I play a mean tambourine :laugh:, if you can call your voice an instrument--I sing, and I used to could play a few songs on the piano. :thumbsup:

:wavey: :wavey: :wavey:

I have a guitar and I used to play it a lot but now I only play once in awhile.

Oh yea...just one or two ;)

I'd bet my blood that Sarah is one of *THE* most musically gifted individuals and she had BETTER do something with the talent she has :nod:

Send our love to Edna BrianHands. :wavey:

Don't knock it, that's better than some of us.

- Jake

Voice is an instrument, just not the kind I meant.

- Jake

Cool. Many of us wish we had a parent who could play Mac songs on the holidays.

- Jake

Any Stevie songs?
Looks like the Atlanta concert crowd will be gathering for sing-alongs at Jason's.

But it's portable & adapts well to different songs.

- Jake

I play them worse than she does :eek:

I think we did Tusk in High School - so I played the trumpet on that.

I like guitar and bass, but I've never been a big flute fan. What attracted you to these instruments?

- Jake

I thought you were in high school before the Tusk album.
Oh, you mean you played a tusk as an instrument.
Woolly Mammoth? :wavey:

- Jake

Do you own a piano?

- Jake

Any particular styles of music?

- Jake

Welll, what song? :confused:

- Jake

Any particular reason? Busy these days?

- Jake

From "A Mighty Wind"

Do you play a musical instrument?

No, not really....wellll...once a friend asked me if I wanted to play the piccolo but I said no....

From Harold and Maude:
"Dear me. Everybody should be able to play some music! That's the cosmic dance."

- Jake

Sorry about that. :sorry: It is "For What It's Worth" by Buffalo Springfield. :D I selected "For What It's Worth," because it was the easiest song I could come up with to play. I'm currently working on "Gold Dust Woman." I tried to play it first, but it was too hard to start out with. :mad:
