    Default How many of you are Musicians?

    That's my band in high school, I'm on the far right in 1967.

    Still play trumpet, flugelhorn and cornet.
    Next was the drums. Started in the early teens.
    Still have a set and still play occasionally.
    Next was guitar and bass. Starts in the early teens also.
    Still have 10 guitars and still play.
    Been in several rock and GB bands
    Taught music occasionally.
    Was business partner in a sound and lighting production company for several years.
    Worked as a stagehand at a large venue in the mid 80's.

    Yep. Been onstage, getting paid, since 15. (46 now) Not Tootin my horn (pun intended), the only thing I can't play is a flute. Not for lack of tryin', I just can't get my dang lips to do that. No Jethro Tull, here!

    My current band is "Walkin with Cash."

    I play the nay, a reed flute used in middle-eastern music.

    I first started with the clarinet when I was nine and still play occasionally.
