Bagpipes-(noun)-I understand the inventor of the bagpipes was inspired when he saw a man carrying an indignant, asthmatic pig under his arm. Unfortunately, the man-made object never equalled the purity of sound achieved by the pig.

My first post...

I play guitar(6 years). Im pretty decent at it and hope something will come out of it later on in life I practice 2-3 hours a day and maybe up too 6 hours on the weekend, if Im feeling it. But I didnt always play this long. For the first 4 years of playing I just learned intros and riffs of some simple rock tunes....Now Im obsessed..
Listen to all sorts of music also, but rock is the majority.

Im also just starting on keyboards. Its comming along....slowly..

[BlueRoseCallisto]

I starting playing Clarinet in middle school, I don't get to play it as often anymore but once in awhile when I get the chance, I play!!

Reminds me of Benny Goodman and the big bands.. I love he big bands sound

[BlueRoseCallisto]

Yeah I'd play some of Artie Shaw's music too...I'm open to pretty much everything, my husband's a big Star Wars fan so owning some of John Williams' compositions is must-have I do wish schools would require kids to learn an instrument, I think everyone who played an instrument can honestly state it does enrich your life.

I play the trombone . I also play the sax but not too good . As for the big band sound I like the music of Glem Miller.

[Blue_Nose]

Played trombone for ten years, up until 2nd year University... unfortunately, the schedule of an engineering student didn't leave much space for me to keep it up at the level I am accustomed to, so I had to drop it. Played in everything from a Dixieland band, to the Nova Scotia Wind Ensemble, to the pit band in our high school's presentation of Jesus Christ Superstar.

I acquired the basic informal piano skills that pretty much every musician develops, and I bought an acoustic guitar a few years ago, to try and make up for ditching the trombone.... I'm learning awfully slowly, though... I went straight to the James Taylor and Joni Mitchell though, so it should be slow.

[hawk2099]

I just started learning to play guitar a few months ago. It's really hard.

[Franco Unamerican]
