Well I think anyone who can play any instrument it’s a gift . My brother was in a group in the sixties when all the groups in Liverpool exploded Now HIS Son is doing the rounds im tone deaf

Why not ….. 12

But these go to 11

I played in bands when I was younger but not as much anymore. Now it's just the occasional open mic night, playing whatever fits my mood in the moment. I've played in bands ranging from country rock to ska to metal to punk rock. That's so cool about your musical family. My dad was the only other musician in mine. I tried banjo once but I was so used to the way a guitar is tuned I really had trouble adjusting. I even tried one of those six-string cheater banjos that are made for guitarists one day in a music store. It was fun and it sounded cool but I wouldn't be caught dead playing it at a gig for fear that an actual banjo player might be in the audience and stab me for disrespecting the instrument Thanks! This week I've truly felt good for the first time since August.

Two months in and still NOPE!

It's been a busy week and I haven't been online much. I have, however, kept to my commitment of not smoking and I've surprised myself at how little time I've spent thinking about it while I've been busy. I know I'm only two months in, so I'm not going to let myself get too complacent, but I had a pretty big accomplishment last week - I went to a bar and played at an open mic night. I wasn't sure how well I'd handle getting on stage without a cigarette to prepare my nerves and one to calm myself down afterward, but when the time came, I wasn't even thinking about that. Even with nerves and a healthy amount of beer in my belly, I still didn't smoke.
