Do the Spoons count:o??? :D
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"
If you can really play them like those old time guys then absolutely!!Quote:

Midge what's you're address I'll be there for a jam in a minute...I wish:o
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:D:D:D:D
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...
Silent, play this one for me
But don't tell my heart,
my achy breaky heart,
I just don't think he'll understand.
:D
and that song in Titanic from Celine Dion will be nice.:p
I have been playing Berimbau for the past 10 years. I still do not know whether it is considered a musical instrument.
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 ;)
Get some plans and make one.Quote:

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.

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:rolleyes: . 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.......
FOOL!:D
