Rich.
Yes. Kris is the scary looking guy with the beard and ear rings.
He's a good drummer.

I think I may know what you mean. I don't want to be committed to a band that has "visions of big-time". But on the other hand a "just-for-the-fun-of-it" band doesn't get serious enough to make it sound good enough to be fun. I try to play a few times...

Drummer.
I played drums starting at about 6 years old and played till mid 20's. All the time growing up, it never occured to me that I would be anything other than a drummer. Played in several bands. Mostly R&R. Some blues. Played in a Dixieland Band once. It was a hoot!! Probably had the most fun playing in a band called "Papa Smith's Banana Band". We played, mostly, Tijuana Brass and Baja Marimba Band tunes.
After I got married, I discovered I was going to...

Hi Andy,

All good artist and could play the bass, John Entwistle was one of the best. I also liked the bass player of the Doobie Brother, listen deep in their songs and he brought the bottom to light.

Mark,

Played the bass in the late 60's and early 70's but have not picked it up in over 35 years. Still have an old Fender sitting in the basement. Cannot play it but cannot part with it either. Besides it's kind of beat up. Too much WHO influance.

Who most influanced me. I can think of five:

- Noel Redding and Billy Cox with Jimi
- John Entwistle with THE WHO
- Berry Oakley with the Allman Brothers
- Paul McCartney with the...

My dog sings when I play the harmonica. I've never figured out whether the dog is singing for enjoyment or trying to say "Please make it stop!"

I play the guitar and bass and on occasion put together a band for a local concert. I never wanted to get too serious and turn something so enjoyable into something resembling work.

Mark....do you know when you are moving to Charlotte? Is this a retirement move or do you have a job down there?

I've got a lot of enjoyment playing my guitars when I had a few moments to play. It's good for the mind and helps you slowly forget the issues around you and just play.

My Grandma always told me singing was in tune, and what I did was make a joyful noise. Although as I've gotten older, people have started telling me I have a good voice. But hearing the music they are listening to today, I don't know if that's a compliment or not. I've picked up the guitar, but am just learning. I had bought it for my Dad about 10 years ago, and he left it to me when he died last Oct.
cheers!

Stan,

Now that was a good one...

I had to stop singing because it was attracting too many stray cats.

I played the Coronet in school and dabbled in piano and guitar for a while after. I've suffered with poor circulation in my hands so much that the pain was just too unbearable to continue. It's been so long since I picked up either one of them that I can't even remember how to play any of them. I had to stop singing because it was attracting too many stray cats.

I can barely play the radio. I am envious of those who can carry a tune with their voice or instrument.

I can't sing and I can't play anything, so I just listen.

Yes, I hate to say it but most of us are in our 50's and that time in our lives growing up made us want to pick up an instrument and play Chuck Berry and others that made you move.

Acapella or singing was not my bag, I can't carry a note to save my life. That's why I learned to play so many instruments so I could hide behind them...

ACE and the T's? Sounds like an acapella doo-wop group to me. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

Does anyone else out there play an instrument and how long have you been playing. Do you still have any equipment left and what do you have?

I've played guitar and bass for years, I have 4 guitars, a Banjo and my Fender Jassmaster bass. Plus about ten harmonicas' along with the Amps and sound gear.

The Bass is my favorite and I can fit in with anyone, just tell me the key and were off.
