[Feb 11, 2007, 18:01]JBP Go for it. You were a good trombone player.
[Feb 12, 2007, 10:54]ron Can you play Tim Hardin's most famous song
"If I Were A Carpenter"?
[Feb 12, 2007, 11:05]Luke [e-mail] Not to my knowledge...what prompted that question?
[Feb 12, 2007, 15:08]Terry I think it's easier for percussion because it's easier, I think, to stay in key (mallet keyboards), and it's easier to stay in time.
I remember in highschool, my sister would bring our dad's electric guitar to some of our pep band shows, and work on some of the tunes she'd picked up. Occasionally I'd play along on drum set, keeping a beat, trying to stay in the style of whatever she was playing (rock, blues, jazz, shuffle, etc.). That's probably a bit easier than adlibbing a solo and making sure you stay in key.

Nothing offensive, Luke. I just thought you do a lot of carpentry.
[Feb 13, 2007, 08:30]Luke [e-mail] I wasn't offended. It just seemed out of the blue, especially since it's a favorite of mine.
[Feb 15, 2007, 10:54]Erin V. [e-mail] It's not too late to learn. I've been trying to encourage Brian to pick up music again, but he is easily discouraged. You have to be prepared to be terrible while you're learning.
