just curious how many of the collective are musicians...

list what instruments ya play (voice included) and genre if ya feel necessary. if you dont play anything, feel free to list any "air" instruments you rock out with.

As for myself:
Currently, I just play guitar. I've been proficient with Trombone, Euphonium, and Piano (which as soon as I get a big enough place I will start playing again) and aslo took violin for a year when I was younger.

I would like to learn how to sing well, play cello, and drums. Actually, I think its a never-ending list of instruments.

Your turn...

You're finally legal! Huzzah! We all know you've been boozing since you were 13, but don't worry, we'll keep quiet.

Now, get off the damn computer and go hit up the bars.

i played saxophone for 4 years.. im not sure i still remember how. i played cornet for 2 years.. im not sure i still remember how. i played piano for a year or 2.. and definitely suck more now than i did then. i've played guitar for about 4 years by now, but havent picked it up in quite awhile as ive been way too busy for anything lately. my guitar skills fluctuate, usually somewhere in the range of general suckiness to meh decent. right now they're probably below general suckiness.

oh yeah, and i owned a banjo for like a year, but rarely played it and sucked pretty bad. it was fun to fuck around with though.

i also try to play harmonica when nobody can hear me. it sounds pretty bad.

Happy Valentine's day from the MTC staff. We really do love you all. So much so, in fact, that you should probably investigate a temporary restraining order -- we're crazy like that.

I play guitar, used to play a bit of classical but not any more. I should really take up lessons again. I also attempt to 'wail out of tune like' in a band, we've only had one gig so far though. I can play simple bass guitar too.

Friday the 13th taught us all the heartwarming lesson that if you are a camp counselor, it's probably not in your best interest to let that (potentially mentally retarded [see wikipedia]) kid swim alone while you are trying to get a piece of ass.

i play guitar, sing, and used to play the bass a little.
I've been playing guitar since I was a wee one. I play typical singer/somgwriter acoustic. I'll write a lot all at once and then nothing for awhile. When I lived in CA I used to play about 2x a week around. Now I rarely play at my coffee shop.

I also play a mean set of air drums

I played jazz trombone for 7 years, but haven't touched the thing in 6. Played piano for 2. Have/had a guitar, but never learned how to play it, although I can tune it by ear and pluck along with a song in the right key about 65% of the time.

Oh, and I taught myself the theme to 'Wheel of Fortune' on the recorder when I was 11.

I played the voice for a while. I did the ol' scream/rap act, sorta like Candira. I'd like to get back into it, but I'm too lazy to pick up a phone and get some people together. So now I'm interested in getting my hands on some beats and just laying down some vocals on them.

guitar for 10ish or so years now I guess...

used to play 2-3 hours a day... but that's been on a downslide for the past 5 years or so...

I play a lot of stuff... in my free time I play a lot of metal... there isn't anything more fun than learning/playing badass guitar riffs and cheesy solos.

I occasionally write/record stuff... mostly instrumental.

eric, shortbus and I were in a band and did some pretty cool indie instrumental stuff but that ended with college.

Despite the fact that TEAM ROBOT was crushed like a Pabst can at a frat party by the might claws of TEAM MONSTER, you are still deserving of a badge... Loser.

I was a pro guitarist from 1978. For much of my career I wrote music for Theater and toured as a theater musician though I gigged most of the time as well in blues, punk and rock bands. I also did quite a few sessions. My main instrument is guitar, and my love is for electric blues. I spent most of the 1990s being ill, and effectively my career ground to a halt ten years ago. Since that time, I had some time in music managment, started writing about music when I wasn't able to play it, and had a brief return to performing in the late 90s, where I worked as part of a duo that had some potential, but fell apart before we could get a deal. I am getting back to gigging now though, and am in the process of putting a blues band together, as well as standing in for people in club gigs. I still want to play live for a few years yet.
