Anyone Play A Instrument

I've performed in public on trumpet, trombone, and alto and tenor saxophone. Sure I play some others (like guitar, piano, french horn, flute), but not very well. Oh and I played timpani a few times. If you give me a wind instrument, I can probably play it.

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!!

I can play the saxophone. I've been playing since 2004.

I sing, mostly quasi-operatic power metal with an abundance of high notes, not sure what it is about them but I love doing them. My voice is classified as a leggiero tenor, and my vocal range is F#2 (F# above low C) to Eb6 (Eb above Soprano C), but past C6 (Soprano C) I start to strain my voice pretty bad. My whistle register also extends my range up to about C7. Working on a project with a friend who plays several instruments, the genre we're going for is something like... Progressive Folk Metal. We named the band 'Murmuring Woodlands', I've already written the lyrics to a few songs and will be recording and uploading them acapella pretty soon, as a preview. Should be interesting. :)

I hope to make a career out of this someday, but I'm terrified of the thought of performing live. I think I'll avoid that kind of thing and only sing on our albums with a stage name, so no one can find me. My city isn't exactly that open-minded :x. I'm not really concerned though, if one person enjoys my music, that's all I'll ever need.

I play mainly guitar, bass and keyboard, but if you hand me an instrument I'll usually be able to play it a little in about 30 minutes...

I play drums. Not very well, and since we moved I haven't played for a while (no room at Dad's for a kit). Got a small hand drum for my birthday though, so that will keep me up on timing and rhythm. I'm just dying to play on a double bass though, it's been sooooo long. I play primarily hard rock styles, but I've been listening to a lot of jazz and I want dearly to incorporate that into my playing. My goal is a very eclectic and progressive style.

I started with the guitar, and I still play, but percussion just possessed me more. I still love to play guitar and there's so much I want to learn, especially after seeing local Trace Bundy (search for him on youtube and prepare for magic), but I have so little time for creative improvement. Most my time lately has been spent on sketching.

Unfortunately I don't play any instruments, but I would love to learn to play the bass guitar or keyboard. Ever since I started listening to music I've loved the sounds these two instruments make, and I would love to be able to play them.

I play the most overplayed instrument ever, and very badly at that. The electric guitar. Mostly I just finger pick songs but it's been a while since I was able to play it, lost the 3rd guitar I bought to the pawnshop...meh.

Played the drums for roughly umm... I want to say 5 years, spent the last 2 or 3 with em not set up though. Just simply isn't enough room for the big'ol 7 piece kit in here anymore.

I played the Oboe for four years. But the fourth year, my first year in high school, I had to start playing the Flute for marching band and I hated it (as in, hated the flute section in marching band, and the marching band in general, and the teacher). Besides that, you can't even hear the flutes! All that hard work, running into Tubas, ruining my mom's flute, for what?! Why couldn't everyone had just played Piccolos instead of just the five best flute players?! So I quit band, because there was no way to NOT do marching band season and still be in band. And I thought in high school I was going to play something besides "2nd Flute" parts I had played throughout middle school but nooooo. The next year I would've FINALLY played better stuff (Oboe is a often a solo instrument!), or if I would've gone on to Wind Assemble (they never even ended up with an Oboe player at all), but I never got the opportunity, because I just hated marching band with a passion.

Makes me sad. =(

I really want to learn guitar or piano someday. So I could play music again... because just picking up an oboe again isn't practical (custom made reeds or else they sound like crap, and they cost a lot, and unless I get good at playing again I'll sound like a 'dying duck' as many nicely put it in middle school).

Actually, my dream would be playing a Cello! That's be amazing.

I play several instruments myself, some better than others. The primary ones are guitar (played since I was 6 or 7), little bit of piano, classical and blues harp (harmonica), and the bodhran. I try and play just about any instrument I can get ahold of, sometimes the results are.. amusing. Oh! And I also write and sing a mean blues. :D

'Cha, I can play the radio like nobody's business!

Seriously though...I've been a "beginner" guitar player for ohhhhh, about 15 years now. I never really had the ambition to play every day, or even every month for that matter.

I do really wanna learn the ocarina though. I just have to get my hands on one.

      I'd love to have a dinner party with Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Voltaire, and Ayn Rand.  Would definitely be an interesting time.

      In the forward I learn that transgenderism is bad, and somewhere else that transgender ideology is bad.  I have not yet read a definition of either in the document.  I assume they are the same.  I know Focus on a Family has a definition of transgenderism on their website, or did, but I am not sure this is the same as that.  I might agree that transgenderism is bad if they use a definition I condemn (e.g. transgenderism means you always pour ketchup in your shoes before you put them on - I could not agree to that).  Is someone who believes in transgenderism, whatever it is, a transgenderist? I never see that term.  There may be other definitions out there, but I don't think there is an Official Definition that we all agree to.

      Crazy fact, was gonna go to the school where this went down at before I moved, have a lot of friends there. I know at least one of my friends met the guy on one occasion, not knowing who it was.

      They are thinking of Loudon.  The problem there was the girls were not protected from a known predator, who was moved from one school to another instead being effectively disciplined.  Outlaw school administrators? <sarc>

      How ironic.  I agree with the governor "“You cannot change your gender; you cannot pick your gender…there is a confused group of people that somehow think you can,”    - we are what we are, we are fighting the fact we CANNOT change our gender, which we did not pick.  Many if not all of us would not have picked a trans condition and have sought to evade, deny or move out or resolve it anyway we can.  Those who are confused on this issue are not trans folk.  They want us to change our gender but they deny we can.  Confusion.

      @FinnyFinsterHH no one can satisfy your questions about what will the future hold. But I can advise you to slow your mind down as much as you're able. Take it slow and one moment at a time. This advice goes beyond the practical reality that that's truly all you can do - further, try to enjoy each moment. It's clear you have a lot of aspirations regarding transition. But it's best to try to accept the bounds of your life circumstances at present because if you develop worries or even resentments about them, that will only make you bitter and more anxious. Instead, try to focus on anything you find affirming. Practice positive self-talk and give yourself affirmations too. Try to let go of expectations of your family members - they can only deal with change to the capacity they're able due to their own life conditions. Allow them grace as you wish they would allow you. Practice patience.   Try this exercise - read through your post and make one list of the positive developments and another of things you cannot control (including the future). If you have a sense of spirituality, offer the second list as a sacrifice to however you understand a higher power - leave it in their hands. If you're not spiritual, then offer it up to hope. Then throw that list away. Keep the list of positives and leave some room on it because guaranteed you'll have more and more to add. Look forward to that, but don't let your mind think it can rush things. Try to enjoy the ride.

      I still have not read much of this.  Very little of this document pertains to trans folk.  Some of the statements are more than problematic concerning trans folk.   It certainly was not written just to get us.   " those with gender dysphoria should be expelled from military service."  and "Reverse policies that allow transgender individuals to serve in the military. Gender dysphoria is incompatible with the demands of military service,"  https://static.project2025.org/2025_MandateForLeadership_CHAPTER-04.pdf are two lines out of hundreds if not thousands regarding the Department of Defense, targeting trans folk in an almost off-hand manner.    So if a fighter pilot, say, or a ship's captain, highly experienced and trained at enormous expense, is determined to be transgender (method unknown) the US loses someone badly needed due to the personnel shortage who is ready, willing and able to perform their duties.  Many trans folk have served well and transitioned later.  I don't think this point is well thought out.    A number of policy recommendations I would disagree with.  I am not sure there is a method to discuss those with the authors; I am attempting to find out.  I have good conservative creds.    They are fully intending to implement this, regardless of who the president is, as long as that president is conservative. It is not Trump centered.  I don't think he had anything to do with it.

      I wear a Delimira Mastectomy sleep bra with Vollence sleep rated breast forms. The form fit inside pockets so they don't touch your skin. I bought the bras on Amazon and found the forms on eBay. They were much less expensive than buying through the other sources.

      @LittleSamCongratulations on one of the biggest decisions. Looking forward to your progress.

      I don't wear a bra to bed.  The girls aren't big enough to need it, but still enough to appreciate.  Just a flannel nightgown suits me fine.

      Yeah, that is the point.  And of course they can be proud of themselves for saving humanity.   Yeah.  That would be scary.  I'd find a bush somewhere like our GOP governor candidate recommends.  So far I've gotten away with the women's.  I've been told I pass better than I realize.  But it would only take one a55h0le.   This is all so stupid.  I mean, who gets off on hanging out in a bathroom?
