I play bass and alto clarinets, but I have just had to give up band as my thesis is due soon and I need to get it done before going to the States...
Right now I am at work and I am missing the first rehearsal of not being a member anymore.

G'day,
Used to play the clarinet. It's sitting in the lounge room in it's box net to my wife's piano. I haven't play it in 18 years (strueth! time flies)
The reed was stuffed even when I was playing it, all cracked and chipped and I never got around to replacing it, just learnt to play with a buggered reed :eek: . The cork is pobably all stuffed by now too.
One day, when Sarah asks her Daddy what's in the black case I might drag it out. Maybe, or she might ask if she can help Daddy make some toys in the shed.

G'day,
Yeah I know, about $2 for 2 I think, but it was always the sort of thing I kept forgetting to do.

Don't know how I got a pass in music, couldn't do jack really. I think I got a pass out of sympathy and trying more than anything else. Only went to school to do art and that was it.
And I didn't have to learn an instruement to do it.

The funny thing is that the sax is far easier than the clarinet.
Its register keying simply raises the notes by an octave (much more sense) and the keys are generally less complicated and less finger busting.
So, it shouldn't be hard to pick up the sax anyway...

The first piece of music I learned was probably "The Blue Danube" on the piano :eek:
I learned chords on the keyboard and then transposed them to the guitar (all open chords) and started to learn to play various things I can't remember when I was a kid. But Smoke on the Water was definitely the first riff I learned.
A girlfriend taught me to play bar chords and the like properly when I was 18. She was mostly into Fleetwood Mac and Bob Seger!"I don't practice what I preach because I'm not the kind of person I'm preaching to."
