Can you play an instrument?
Nope... next question. I'm just kidding, I play the guitar, the drums, and a wee-bit of piano (we're talking WEE-BIT here)
How long have you been playing?
Guitar: 2 years, I won't lie... I'm rather new to it, but I'm comfortable with being a late bloomer.
Drums: 8 years but no longer do I practice, sold the set last year. Found I had difficulty expressing myself on an intrument lacking pitch and ... pleasing melody you could say. Ever sing solo with just a drumset before? It's not pretty.
Piano: On and off for a few years.
How did you get into it?
Started with drums in elementary school, but music in general has always been a passion, taking more and more priority as I mature. Picked up the guitar because it just made sense to me, it just felt right in my arms. Plus, I grew up listening to James Taylor, Jim Croce, Simon & Garfunkel, Crosby, Stills and Nash, Loggins and Messina, etc. Piano because we have one, for some reason or another... and I fool around on it. That sounded dirty.
If you did, why did you stop?
Oddly worded question if you ask me. I never said I stopped. Who said I stopped? I wanna meet this person who said I stopped. Where are they? Are you protecting them? Um... no I haven't stopped yet. Except for the drums but I just bang on my guitar now.
Have you ever wanted to play in a band?
I get angry and throw stuff a lot, like their instruments if they piss me off enough. Nah, I'm kidding. That's totally not my style. I keep all my anger pent up and then lash out in one graceful snap of sanity. A karate man only bleeds on the inside. Right... where were we? Oh yeah the band thing. I think about it now and then but bands are very difficult to manage. You have to know your role, and most of the time with musicians you get a lot of deeply distraught strung out people who don't have much direction in their lives. So not really. Not until I'm comfortable with my own level of expertise.
