Anyone Play A Instrument


Guest Kacee

Recommended Posts

Hey y'all!!

I'm new here, but figured I'd stick my nose in and talk about my musical interests too!! I play keyboards, guitar, fiddle (that's a violin for y'all that ain't from around here!! lol) and I'm workin on learnin the sax. I used to sing, a loooooong time ago. I haven't had much opportunity to do that in recent years, but when I was a teenager, I was in a band and also sang at several local clubs. I still have many of my old recordings and I put one of 'em up online if anyone wants to take a listen. Hope ya like it!! It's one of my all time favorite songs. Here's the link: http://s794.photobucket.com/albums/yy225/x...FacebyKacee.flv

Enjoy!!

Love Kacee

I host it to youtube for you, but no guarantees that many people will see it.

It sounds really good.

Wow!

I listened to the recording and I have to say, I actually liked it better than Roberta Flack's recording (for you youngsters she made the hit recording and I believe that she even wrote it)

Beautiful!

I am a trumpet player myself with a breif (14 year) career as a String Bass player in orchestras, dabble with keyboards and played drims until I sold my set and never could afford a Marimba or vibraphone but I learned them well enough to play a four mallet piece for my percussion jury (final exam in instrumental lessons) in college.

Love ya,

Sally

Hey y'all!!

Thanks for listening and for being here!! Sally, thank you for the great compliment!! And thank you for adding me to your friends lists. As I find my way around here, I'll figure out how to build a list of my own and will add y'all to it. Janelle brought up a good point about YouTube. I actually do have a channel with a lot of my stuff posted. If any of y'all are interested, here's the link:

i play the guitar and bass, and i mess around with the drums alittle.

i want to learn the flute from one of my friends, mainly because i loved mr. tumnus's song from chronicles of narnia.

once i get a computer again (using a ps3) i'll have to listen to the recordings.

what kinda styles do you tend to play when you are on the guitar?

I'm currently in my school choir and I used to play the violin, clarinet, piano, and guitar. I'm thinking about picking either the piano or guitar back up again.

I play synth/keyboard. I've been writing my own songs for awhile now too. I like '80s style synthpop like Depeche Mode, OMD, and A-ha. I hope to one day have my own band, atleast to play with... it would alot more fun to be around other people with similar interests. Just wish I could meet others like me :) It's really difficult.

I play guitar...

I started playing when I was 8 years old. My mother tells me that I used to have a ukelele when I was a toddler, and I played that astonshing well. but I don't remember that.

Playing guitar is the very essence of who I am. I communicate with my music on a level that I cannot any other way.

My guitar is an extension of my body and mind.

We are one.

That's how I used to be with the piano. I started when I was very young. Then there were some things that happened that made me never want to play again. I am more into the guitar now than anything, but I don't have one of my own anymore. I'm working on that problem though :)

I was a folk-singer back when...

Acoustic guitar, harmonica, vocals. The guitar hasn't agreed with my long nails being on both hands so I (in tears) picked my nails over guitar. Plus that with me would totally come off as a dikey overkill.

I play guitar and bass - though I am a much better guitarrist than bass player. Unfortunately, where I live it is hard to find the right musicians to play with. I am a punk guitarrist who knows what they are doing and just do not have it in me to play covers note for note - which is what the vast majority of musicians around here do. I have a band, but when our last bass player quit in September, it took us until now to replace him - most of the musicians that can handle the style around here don't have the chops, the ones with the chops, don't understand the style... grrrr... but our new bass player finally fits the bill... hopefully... I'll find out at practice on Tuesday

I've played the koto (Google it) for something like four years now, and I play the ocarina a little. I've recently started playing around with synths, since I'm taking a MIDI technology class, but I'm not really jiving with the musical keyboard input yet, so that'll take some more work. Koto is really my main thing, though...I take a noncredit class every semester for it, and we do a few concerts in the area.

I don't know if I'll ever play a traditional instrument, since I have no idea how to even begin to make heads or tails of sheet music. >.> Pathetic, right?

I try to play guitar, however I FAIL.

I'm a somewhat impatient person when it comes to anything to do with myself. Which means if I'm not up to a standard I'd like myself to be at by the end of one hour of playing I say "Arhh forget it!" put the guitar down and don't pick it up for a year or so.....

      Just know that your kids will probably turn out OK, in spite of the chaos.  One of my partners was widowed in her very early 30s, left with 3 kids.  They're teens now, and one graduated a year ago and is working, but still living at home.  A few bumps in the road, but the three are turning into responsible young adults.  It is amazing how resilient kids can be.  They should be able to handle your changes as well.

      I've been transitioning now for eight months but have been wearing women's clothing for 2+ years. I am over weight and approaching my 72nd birthday. I have purchase my solid color clothing online and recently graduated to 'V' neck tops. I have been hesitant to get anything more girly due to family issues, though with my hair style I am able to totally pass when dressed in a skirt and blouse.   About two  months ago I finally went and got my nails done (which I truly which I had done long ago) though not red nor pink (again family issues). To date I don't think I am having problems with being trans unlike others seem to have. The biggest problem I am having is with my clothing. Any suggestions my girl friends might have would be greatly appreciated.   Cindy

      Umm.... if a post is ignored, live with it?   My stuff gets ignored sometimes, and its OK.  My life is different, and may seem kind of wacky to others.  Some folks just can't relate, or if I'm needing advice they just don't have it.  Diversity is like that sometimes.  If your post gets missed, don't take it personally.  Also, stuff that is new on weekends seems to get ignored more, since most folks are busy with family or other stuff during that time.  Overall, I think people here are pretty helpful.

      I'd really love a professional stove.  There's actually one I want at Lowes, but its like $6k.  I've got plenty of money, the issue is that I'm not the queen (king?) of my den.  Or even of the kitchen.  My partner (husband's wife #1) owns that territory, and she's very attached to what she's got.  One of our stoves has 6 burners and a large oven, the other has 4 burners and a regular household sized oven.  And of course, there's always the wood-burning equipment.    Today was interesting.  We had the first campaign fundraiser for our sheriff and my sister.  My sister is running to be constable of our township.  Pretty sure she'll win, as her opponent is an old dude who is mostly running on "Don't elect a woman for a man's job"    What's weird is our sheriff is running as a Democrat, but he's conservative.  And his Republican opponent sounds like a leftist.  Welcome to Upside-down-ville   And of course all the kids got the chance to sit in a sheriff's car, and play with the lights.   We had a barbecue lunch and a dessert auction.  I baked three apple pies for it, and I was shocked that they sold for $20 each, since my cooking isn't that great.  My partner made her famous "Chocotorta."  It's like a chocolate layer cake with cream cheese, sweetened condensed milk, and it tastes amazing.  Usually we have it for Christmas and other really special occasions.  Two guys got into a bid war, and it sold for $175!!!    Yep, this is politics in the South.  Barbecue, pies, and police cars.  A great way to spend a Saturday

      Yes. That report is part of a conspiracy to torture and murder trans people. It is a lie. It is evil.

      It seems plain to me, that this thing is simply a cherry-picked excuse to persecute trans people - especially trans youth in the UK.  And it will also be used here in the states to legislate against trans care here as well.   The right wing has already made up their mind about us, and they are just looking for "evidence" to legislate against us.     Seems like if they were really for "freedom" as they claim, they would leave us alone to live in our personal "delusions".   I mean, I have no problem with cis people.  Some of my best friends are cis people.

      I am so happy with Maybelline products. For my basic needs, I love their Magic Eraser. I used the app to dial in the best shade and it works great just -- even as a very light "foundation"

      I think this can be a big part of it. There are times when I just don't have the experience or expertise to respond.   Is there a specific post we've missed @Ladypcnj?  I remember that my intro post had less than 10 responses. Some of that has to do with timing, too.    I've also found that the more I posted to various threads the more responses I've received. But, I can tell you that there are times when almost no one responds to my posts. Don't take it personally. Keep posting where you feel comfortable and people will get to know you.   It really is a friendly and accepting place.

      Oh, the guilt can be overwhelming, can't it? It's kind of like the joke about the difference between Protestants and Catholics.   Protestants have sex without guilt.   Catholics have guilt without sex.   It seems as if guilt is just a natural by product of our gender identity confusion whether we have any awareness of it or not. We feel different and so we blame ourselves for not feeling as others say we should.   What a tremendously uplifting moment it is when we can finally shed that guilt. Bask in the relief, M.A.   And having the right therapist seems so crucial to me. I had, fortunately, a very quick and strong connection and trust in my therapist. She was a life saver for me. Literally.   Again, welcome to TGP!!

      For me, with my former therapist, it was almost more like a frog in a pot slowly coming to a boil - I don't think either of us realized the scope of what we were dealing with until fairly recently. And she helped me find my new practitioner, which was incredibly helpful too <3 It feels very strange and new - I've framed this, whatever this is, as 'being bad at being female' for literal decades, since puberty really, and the idea that maybe it's not my fault, that I've never done anything 'wrong,' is a little overwhelming.
