musos

Tried to post this under miscellaneous but there isn't one
How many of you riders play a musical instrument?
Anything that is tapped, strummed, blown into or god fobid.. plucked ... will suffice.. well by now you get it

Who plays  their own style of music on their own instrument of choice?

I understand that this post could consolidate my position as the one most in need of "attention", however I am putting this out there.
Who knows.. you might be a virtuoso ... or a couple of beers wannabe.... it's all good.

Now as a matter of disclosure, and also because I started this, I will offer that I play blues harp.. a little, and badly.. guitar, as previous, however a little more than a little.. and percussion.. way better than the preceeding... so!

What do you play?

Hiya Carelli
Trumpet,Flugel horn and a little bit of Alto Sax. Ive been playing for about 40years, not a virtuoso, but a rather handy bloke to have in a band.
Ive attached a poster of my band,which you can also find on face book. Called the Well swung daddies,we do jump jive swing and a little 50s/60s rock and roll
The other band I play in can be found at www.soul-band.com , This outfit does Soul/Funk/Motown/Disco/Party band stuff,including Blood sweat and tears,Chicago,Stevie wonder etc.
I also do an occasional Symphony orchestra gig or two.
Cheers
Laurie

Hi Laurie
I checked your band ,, got some good pics. The dress code is what I understand, blues/ rythym and rock in roll. Would love to hear some tracks if they are available. With all that brass, your sound must be impressive!
My last band's catchcry was " happy blues, blues with a twist " We played the Royal Mail in Goodna, Brisbane, on occaision and more often than not, backed by the Brisbane Brass Monkey's.
Been in a couple of bands in the past few years
First was " Rockin Rythym Cats"
More recent was  " Martini 66 "

thanks for the relply Laurie .... I'll check the soul band out

I played the Bagpipes in the Boys Brigade but that was about 50 years ago. Not sure I'd know which end to blow into now.

Played (hit) the drums in a group in the 60's. I think everyone in Britain was in a group then. I was crap but the group made a small name for themselves (after I was kicked out).
