Any Musicians Here?

[tombanjo]

I have a great love for traditional Irish music and have been playing it for about 4 years now. I like to play mandolin, tenor banjo, tinwhistle, keyless wooden flute, and most recently the bouzouki, depending on my mood.

I haven't played or sung for an audience for decades, but in my youth I played keyboards and sax, and did a little singing. Most garage band stuff, and just for fun. But I still have a great appreciation for music of all genres, and have a few acquaintances who are professionals.

That's cool.

My Father-in-law picked up a fiddle at an estate sale and gave it to me with some books wanting me to learn to play it.

But with a one year-old daughter, it's kind of hard to find time.

I know what you mean. My daughter is about a year and a half. That's about how long it's been since I really played guitar. I can't do it when she sleeps because it would wake her. I can't wear headphones because I have to make sure she's not screaming her head off. If I play when she's awake, she pulls the cable out of my guitar and changes all the settings on my amp. If she wasn't so damn cute and lovable I'd send her off to the circus.

I play bass and violin. I was forced to take violin and music theory from when I was 8 until I was 14.
I've been playing electric bass ever since (16 years). I was in a few mteal bands but can play pretty much anything that interests me. I really need to work on my slap and two hand tapping and probably should take a few refresher lessons on that. The really technical metal is my favorite stuff to play so I've beed dragging my heels on the lessons. I gave up bands when my son was born. I still practice for at least 10-16 hours a week when I should be sleeping.

I haven't touched a violin in years though.

Uh-Oh Monkey. You just hit post #666! The sign of the beast. Hurry post something again quick it might be bad mojo. Or maybe it's a sign to play some Iron Maiden!

I can hold my own on bass, electric or stand-up

Edit: Nothing special though.

Haha, I know what you mean. Our son will be 2 weeks old tomorrow, and it's been about that long since I've really had the time to practice any new tunes. But it's worth it to finally have one of my own!

Looking to find out if there are any people who play with themselves or in a band?

What kind of style?

Instrument?


Me, I have been playing drums since age 4 so about 35 years now. I mostly play rock/prog rock/fusion/funk

I have played in several bands and have opened for or toured with many national acts such as Fog Hat, Molley Hatchet, Tesla, Alanis Morrisette, Brother Cane, Queensryche, Great White, and Jason Bonham to name a few.

The slide flute?

[ChaoticGemini]

I have dabbled with several instruments and have a VERY wide range of music tastes: piano, harmonica (diatonic & chromatic), various styles of flutes (if it can be fingered and blown, I've probably played it), gusli, tinwhistle, bodhran, still looking for a good price on a set of pipes since I have been playing the chanter, autoharp, various odd percussion instruments, zither and hammered dulcimer.
