  • How many mainstays here are musicians or at least hobbyists? Steve I know. Myself I can play guitar but I'd consider myself a hobbyist.

  • nothing surprises me anymore - but the thought of Warren as POTUS is as bad as bad can be....

    I also thought back in the days of the Illinois Senate campaign that conservative Alan Keyes getting

    a shot against the relatively unexperienced community organiser Obama - would be an excellent

    change for once in the shady politics of Illinois.... but no 🙁

    they (we) got fluff over substance then and , we got two more years of this

    Walker or Pence 2016

    Axe and Nickers play.

  • Nope. Zero musical talent. 4th grade we got to pick instruments, they kept pushing me to do cello or bass or something cuz I was tall. Fuck that.

    Oh, and I'm not ducking. I'm still at work.....

  • Me, I surprise friends etc once in a long while with my little blues harmonica,

    and my guitar, I'm mostly just a strummer. Say, I think I'll do my Bob Dylan impression

    this summer at the annual picnic. I'm very much a Tom T. Hall talent, with a whole lot less

    of it. Hence, comedy and story telling...

    I mean, Buddy Holly, Simon and Garfunkel, and Chad and Jeremy? That dates me....

    "Knight in Rusty Armor". That was always a fun old song....

    I played bass and sang in a few punk bands. I would still just call myself a pretty good hobbyist.

  • I'm not a very accomplished soloist but I can play riffs and chords and keep a good time.

  • Hobbyist for sure. Can read music (piano) but haven't tickled the ivories in a long while. Play guitar by ear mostly. Can fumble around (mostly) blues scales but I'm by no means receiving phone calls to go play with Derek trucks.

    My favorite band of all time. Muzz, Corey, Vernon, and Will. All virtuosos on their instruments. First CD I ever owned. Back in 88/89-ish. Their cover of the Talking Heads "memories can't wait" is the reason I picked up a guitar.

    A pretty darn good TV show, too, if you ask me.

    I loved, "The Fly Girls" and a young and unknown Jim Carey was funny as hail - before he became a 'form' actor..

  • Yep great show. Just can't stand the band.

    That was my thought too but I don't know enough of their stuff to say it out loud.

    Haha. Yup. What's the saying, " you never forget your first"?? Kind of like the Bernie / Byner Browns.

    They were my Zeppelin, stones, Beatles, van halen, etc...

    Corey was a pretty charismatic frontman and doesn't get nearly enough credit for his pipes.

    Vernon is an amazing guitarist. Dad got so sick of me playing that record (cd) he introduced me to Hendrix with "axis bold as love". Then Stevie. And it continued from there.
