Do you play an instrument? If so, what kind(s) and for how long?

guitar, since I was 15. Before that, I tried keyboards, clarinet, recorder (lol, but anyone can play that one)

Can you sing? What is your octave range and voice type (i.e. tenor, alto, etc.)?
yeah, been in a couple of choirs, none right now though. Used to sing alto, now soprano. Which is sometimes a little too high. One of the many women who are between soprano & alto

forgot the range question.. Not very low, but I did hit a high a once. Intentionally!

Do you write songs? Just music? Only lyrics?

Well I make up music sometimes but I'm too lazy to write it down. Besides, it never sounds as good the next day as it did at 2 at night

But I "arrange" easily. Meaning, turn a song into something I can play on the guitar rather than try to copy it to the detail.

Have you ever dreamt of or seriously considered being a musician?

Oh yes, I even tried to get into the academy of music. Was too f*cking nervous to sound decent though. And I didn't quite fit in there, I couldn't do jazz.. couldn't play with a pick.

What genre of music would you prefer to create?

whatever different styles of music I listen to & play, I always return to this americana/rock/seventies/singersongwriter stuff.

Oh man. I suck at that. I know what you mean because I have never had the ear for that.

It makes me sad...

But that's part of why I love Stevie so much.

I play acoustic guitar a bit. I think I got my first guitar at 14, so that was, um, about 12 years ago.

Honestly, I'm not that good at it, but I love playing anyway. Also, I've been learning the keyboard for a couple years now.

Can you sing? What is your octave range and voice type (i.e. tenor, alto, etc.)?

I've been singing since I was little. I have no clue what my octave range or voice type is, or even how to figure it out, for that matter.

Do you write songs? Just music? Only lyrics?

No music, just really bad lyrics.

Have you ever dreamt of or seriously considered being a musician?

I started dreaming about being a singer when I was 6, after I made a whopping $11 singing "The Wild Side of Life" at a party my parents were having. I haven't stopped dreaming about it since.

What genre of music would you prefer to create?

Alt-country.

Great topic, Danny!

I'd love to see you become vastly famous, or at least we could arrange to siphon all of Britney's money into your hands, as you're far more talented than she is, vocally and artistically and probably in countless other ways too!

Seriously!

Do you play an instrument? If so, what kind(s) and for how long?

Meh...does the triangle count?

(kidding). I used to own a keyboard when I was little and could kind of play by ear. Had not a clue which key was what but could go back and reproduce the sound I heard after a while of trying (basic songs, obviously). I can dabble, I suppose.

Can you sing? What is your octave range and voice type (i.e. tenor, alto, etc.)?

I've been singing for years but at the insistance of my parents who are degree-whores, they refused to pay for an excursion to a music academy. I'll be paying for that on my own after I get my degree. Alto to Soprano. I feel most comfortable at Mezzo-Soprano (which is in between the two) but have had to sing all to fill voice parts for chorus and whatnot.

Do you write songs? Just music? Only lyrics?

Only lyrics. The old addage...you don't use it, you loose it...applies to me and my sightreading ability. I would have to take more music classes before I could physically sit down and write a peice of music. I do, however, write lyrics and have had many copyrighted.

Have you ever dreamt of or seriously considered being a musician?

I've always wanted to be a backing vocalist ever since I heard Patricia Russo (Meatloaf's female sidekick). I still think she's the ****. Of course, Lori Nicks and Sharon Celani are my favs. as well. Think about it...you get to friggin' sing...the spotlight isn't on you...you stand there for an hour and a half, two hours...sway, smile, wear nice things...travel the world...and get paid doing it. I honestly can't think of a better job. Seriously. I'd be in hog heaven if I ever had the opportunity.

What genre of music would you prefer to create?

I love listening to jazz standards but I think what I write is more than likely in the pop/rock genre.

I played flute & piccolo all though school. Was in the symphonic & marching band in high school. Started played the flute in third grade & started playing the piccolo in high school. I wanted to learn to play the sax, but never did. I took guitar learns in high school, but that didn't pan out. I still have the flute, but haven't really played it since high school.

Can you sing? What is your octave range and voice type (i.e. tenor, alto, etc.)?

No, I can't sing. Why do you think I was in the band?

Do you write songs? Just music? Only lyrics?

No, & never even attempted to.

Have you ever dreamt of or seriously considered being a musician?

No, not really.

What genre of music would you prefer to create?

It would have to be rock or classic rock.

I've written some intrumental stuff and some songs with lyrics.

Not as my career, but it'll always be a hobby.

You're itching for me to go all Frou-Frou and Olive on your ass? Hmm...

madformac · #28 05-22-2005, 06:02 PM

Do you play an instrument? If so, what kind(s) and for how long?

I play guitar.

Kind? erm, at the moment mainly John Suhr but also Rick Turner, Fender and Rodriguez. In the past I've played Gibson, Paul Reed Smith, G&L and more.. I've played for a few years now.

I don't believe I can sing properly, but I think my voice is getting better lately..

Do you write songs? Just music? Only lyrics?

I've started writing both lately, nothing major yet but I hope to work on some material and collaborate with a friend fairly soon..

Have you ever dreamt of or seriously considered being a musician?

Not at all although recently things have taken a far more serious turn... Watch this space...

What genre of music would you prefer to create?

Blues and Rock music..

Hey this is fun...

Do you play an instrument? If so, what kind(s) and for how long?
Started on accordian as a child, then picked up piano - bout 10 yrs.

Can you sing? What is your octave range and voice type (i.e. tenor, alto, etc.)?
Yes, alto/sop

Do you write songs? Just music? Only lyrics?
Yes. 1 song - music only, tons of lyrics.

Have you ever dreamt of or seriously considered being a musician?
Considered it after receiving an offer to join a band in San Francisco. My daughter was 7 years old at the time. I turned it down. Otherwise, I've been in a few "garage" bands that never played out. And I've done several gigs with a Sweet Adelines chorus.

What genre of music would you prefer to create?
Pop rock.

Do you play an instrument? If so, what kind(s) and for how long?
I play guitar--electric and acoustic. I have been playing for almost a year. I have been a dancer most of my life--tap, ballet, jazz, and modern, so I haven't had the time to devote to an instrument, but I always wanted to play one. I have decided to make time to do it now, because I'm finally out of college and have time to devote to playing music.

Can you sing? What is your octave range and voice type (i.e. tenor, alto, etc.)? Yes, I have been singing all my life. My voice type is really alto, but my range is pretty vast: low soprano to bass, if necessary.

Do you write songs? Just music? Only lyrics? I write poetry and songs, but no music.

Have you ever dreamt of or seriously considered being a musician? Not really

What genre of music would you prefer to create? I love all types of music, but I especially enjoy playing and singing (because it is best suited to my voice) rock and country.
