I can't even play the radio,
Ive been playing guitar every day for 25 years. I played violin from 4th grade to senior year. I wish I still had my fiddle. Haven't touched one since 07. I miss it.
Play tenor saxophone. Have a Selmer Super Action 80 worked over by Randy Jones of Tenor Madness.
...not me but a very close depiction. I have a right to say that! I'm a REAL musician.
12 years of classical training at the piano, and I played cello as well. Used to make a few bucks playing ragtime in pizza joints.
I took a couple of years of violin lessons as a kid, I never learned to play the first song. The guy would just smoke and tell stories of his time working for Wayne Cochran, during my lessons.. I loved those twice a week sessions. When my parents found out I couldn't even play Twinkle Twinkle, they pulled the plug. Haha
I can't say my folks didn't give me the opportunity. I had piano lessons that didn't last. I played violin with lessons and in a youth orchestra, but was hugely relieved after several years when I broke my wrist and got to quit. However, I did pick up a plastic pan flute, and immediately a harmonica and taught myself to play everything from hymns, anthems, a few strains of Bach, and other standards. Despite being something of a blues fan, I just can't to that. I'm still trying ... to teach myself cornet, but can't master the scale on the valves, and also do mildly successful descant to string band records on the slide whistle, and a few recorder tunes. I think we could say I'm a guy who plays old tunes on the harmonica and otherwise a failed musician. I sometimes feel I spent most of my youth finding out the vast array of things for which I have no aptitude. I'm so glad there were a few things I did anyway.
Played violin/fiddle up until high school. Was quite good at it. Wish I had never quit.
I grew up playing traditional fiddle music in Tennessee, and made a little money playing gigs and contests before I joined the military. Nowadays I take violin lessons to learn the classical repertoire, and I’m happy to say my fiddle has been a source of joy for many years now. I also play the banjo, but that’s an instrument that requires a lot less dedication than the violin, so I just play when I jam with other fiddlers, etc.
I've been playing guitar for around twenty years. I started playing the mandolin a few years ago and I play a few other instruments as well.
I'm rather good at playing the goat!

Jay.

There was some pipe smoker a while back that played nose flute and posted videos.
I'm sitting at my office about ready to play my Tallman through a small tube amp.

And he talked me into buying one.
Greetings from Nancy, France (Lorraine) :: New Member Introductions
Hello all, Antoine, 54, coming from France. I began smoking the pipe when I was 20 or so, and stopped after few years. Rebegan in 1998, then stopped in 2008. And rerebegan a few days ago. But during these last smoking vacations, I continued to take care of my numerous smokers, and my cellared...

Beyond playing myself on the old 'skin accordion' when I was younger I have no musical skills whatsoever. I tried the violin when I was seven/eight and it sounded like I was torturing the neighborhood cat. The piano was an equal bust much to my Mothers disappointment. The harmonica was like wise a total failure from my perspective and I won't even discuss the Recorder that I converted into a pea shooter when I was at school. These various travails have resulted in my general deduction that music and Mr. Condor were not a match under any circumstances. Anyone that can master playing any form of musical instrument has my total respect and admiration.
Piano, cornet, bass viol. All done by age 16, darn it.
