Legacy Fan Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cysko Kid Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FairHooker11 Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MLD Woody Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 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.....

calfoxwc Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 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....

Myself I can play guitar but I'd consider myself a hobbyist. I played bass and sang in a few punk bands. I would still just call myself a pretty good hobbyist.

The Cysko Kid Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 I'm not a very accomplished soloist but I can play riffs and chords and keep a good time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legacy Fan Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicopee John Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 living colour is your favorite band of all time???? 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Legacy Fan Posted February 25, 2015 Report Share Posted February 25, 2015 living colour is your favorite band of all time???? Wow WSS 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.
