Do you play a musical instrument?

[craigb]

No that was the other one. Want to hear it?

"Ain't no sunshine when I am gone....... I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know"

Wongo (the next Hong Kong idol)

Wongo Withers?

Doesn't have much of a ring to it.

Do the Spoons count???

I've got a gig coming up in a couple of weeks and I have to learn some new songs for it. Try these for golden oldies:

Because I Love You (Master's Apprentices)
Gonna See My Baby Tonight (La De Das)
Golden Miles (Healing Force)
Don't Bogart Me (Fraternity of Man) - "Don't Bogart that joint, my friend, pass it over to me"

Do the Spoons count???

If you can really play them like those old time guys then absolutely!!

I also have a kalimba. I saw a guy playing a hurdy gurdy at the Cygnet Folk Fstival a few weeks ago. Awesome sound. I'm gonna have a go oneday.

Midge what's you're address I'll be there for a jam in a minute...I wish

I also play the Jaw (Jews) Harp and the kazoo....San Francisco Bay Blues by Eric Clapton calls for a kazoo so I had to have some lessons

[silentC]

Hah, we do a song with a kazoo solo in it. Can't remember the name of it. One of those 60's pop songs from the Mellow Yellow era... Wet myself laughing every time...

[Wongo]

Silent, play this one for me

But don't tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
I just don't think he'll understand.


and that song in Titanic from Celine Dion will be nice.

I have been playing Berimbau for the past 10 years. I still do not know whether it is considered a musical instrument.

[silentC]

According to Wikipedia it is "a single-string percussion instrument". So there you go, at least one source says it is - good enough for me

Dennis Havlena's website has plans for a very simple Hurdy Gurdy that works a treat, and also a couple of others that are a bit more complex... fabulous things.

My Mum - who, at 94, still plays piano every day - was a professional musician when she was younger. She tried really hard to teach all three of her kids to play piano. Being her youngest, I was her last chance. She finally bowed to the inevitable when I was about 14 and let me give it up. I love music - always have, always will - but I don't have the gift - to my regret.

It skips generations: my son is a pretty good guitarist and a couple of his cousins are accomplished musicians.

...Willie Wongo? (you have too much time on your hands. Make a hoojeemaflungit)

Played acoustic on/off for 20yrs, had a Strat for a while but wifey hated it, and I thought it should be played rather than stored - bloke who bought it was a collector . Have visions of going to the local Blues Festival with my harp and guitar and thrashing out a few Neil Young covers, but I never quite make the auditions.......maybe one day. Guitar recently escaped falling off the trailer at 120km/h on the Midladns highway - 2 small scratches and gravel rash on the case. A sign?

It'd be great to sit and jam with some like minded friends, but I have yet to find some. My current ones are very good at the tennis racket and air guitar.

I've always had a musical bent, but have never really persisted or dedicated my time to learning the following, I've tried...guitar, keyboard, harmonica, tin whistle ( the last three I own!) Dad could sing and was in a few choirs.

But I have accomplished playing the.......
