I know this has probably been discussed before, but I never come down here and I'm bored (day off of school for MLK day, and all I have to do is study for an economics test )

So what musical instrument do you play?  If you play more than one, what's your favorite?

I'll start it off:  I began playing piano..jeez...probably 10 years ago (or more).  I then stopped that and got a guitar about 7 or 6 years ago (must have been 11 or 12).  Then when I was 13 I got an electric guitar as a Bar Mitzvah present, a Gibson SG Special, mahoganyish (deep red) unfinished wood with crescent moon shaped inlays (now its rare, they stopped making it with those inlays about a year after I got it).  It's American made, too 

A month or so ago I got a used Fender Squire bass guitar because I wanted to learn how to play the bass (always loved the sound they make ESPECIALLY in blues songs) and now I play that.

I would have to say that my favorite is the bass, not the bass itself but its my favorite to play.  I've only been playing for a month but I really enjoy it and I seem to be almost a natural at it.  Eventually I'm gonna get a new one, but this one is fine (hundred bucks and all that is 'used' about it is some scratches that I would have put on it anyways and a replaced knob but I can pick up new knobs for like 10 bucks)

Now its your turn...

violin i have been playing for 3.5 years. i love it. i like the sound. i also love classical music. hopes thats enough for your stuff.

I can do a good rendition of "The Hornpipe" on a wooden spoon.

I played drums "semi-pro" for something like 12 years. I packed it in soon after my daughter was born & taught myself the guitar for my own amusement. Got quite good at it even if I say so myself. I also play piano & keyboards very badly. The guitar is my favourite instrument (I have two) although I haven't picked one up for some years.

Is that aiming at the posing guitarist / bass player who's insulting your ears even at 500 meters?

It took a bit of finding but this is about the best I have. Taken around 1965 (when I was young & handsome  ) at Gatwick Manor nightclub. We only played at the best venues. The kit is a Trixon. I'm sure I've posted it before.

It's a tad on the dark side but that might be just as well.

What's the name of the band Doug? Pollipopow?
