    Default PAFOA's Musical Talent

    I love music. It's a deep part of my life. I went to college for it. I have a degree in music. However, it makes a great hobby but a horrible career.

    Here's my Uke and my Guitar.





    Anyone else play anything?

    I'm a woodwind guy myself. My main axe is a Selmer Super Action 80 Series II alto sax. I also dabble in clarinet and a bit of flute. Right now though, I seem to be drawn toward the tin whistle. I have quite a few whistles, but my crown jewel is an aluminum Tony Dixon in D.

    I've tried playing strings and apparently my left hand is mostly retarded.

    I love sax. I took 2 semesters of tenor my junior year. After that year I was planning on getting a Yamaha Z series. I got the guitar and an AR-15 for the same money as I was going to spend on the Z series.

    I took a semester of string bass (which I loved!) my freshman year. It takes a good bit of practice to not suck.

    I played sax for a few years as a kid. Years later, I traded that in for a guitar and ended up in a band for a fear years after college.

    I have an ESP Custom. I'll post a pic when it's not 6:25am.

    Did have nice SG with a half stack no comment on what happened to that. Now I have really become quite the expert playing spoons and the kazoo.

    I never made a full time living at it, but it was always a way to put some cash flow in my pocket. I've got Gibsons, Epiphones, Fender, PRS, Martin, Taylors, 2 dobros and a banjo. I've been lucky as to have Fender sponsor our band, The Last Mile for 2 years. We traveled the country, east and west then.

    It's about commitment. 30 minutes a day, everyday for 40 years, sure helps.

    Just pick up a beginner's book and start learning, simple as that.

    I barely play any more, no time for it but 'back in the day' I played and had a 24 track recording studio in the house, have some pics but they on 'old time' film ... need to scan them into the computer.
