FaceIt777 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I play guitar, drums, piano, and just about anything. I'm the kind of guy who can pick up an instrument and learn it within a few minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 I self-googled and discovered that I *used* to be a musician. Apparently, one of these guys is me: LBB Is that really you, Lee? Divinyls rule! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted July 19, 2010 Report Share Posted July 19, 2010 Is that really you, Lee? Divinyls rule! Yes, but which one; that is the big question. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lonelyday Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 I play a wicked kazoo. The kazoo is seriously awesome! There's this duo that busks on the main street here- one guy on the drums...and the other on the guitar and kazoo (or it might be the drummer on kazoo, i can't remember). But it's seriously great fun music and the kazoo totally makes it, I love it. As for me, I play the guitar...or at least attempt to. It's only been a few months since I bought a guitar, and I'm definitely no hendrix, but let me tell you, I can play a mean E minor chord! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miamisammy29 Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Yes, but which one; that is the big question. Keyboards, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted July 20, 2010 Report Share Posted July 20, 2010 Keyboards, right? Yes, keyboards in every band. Guitar in some. Bass in many. Truth told, Divinyls was a very boring gig for a keyboard player ;-) LBB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chutzpah Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 How can you be a "used to be" musician? Unless you just dropped out...and that happens... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 (edited) Yeah, dropped out; got a real job. But I still have my guitar, my banjo and my violin. The blasted flute still eludes me. And I play piano for my kids' school concerts. There are SongFactors members who were born in the time since I played my last gig ;-) Edited July 21, 2010 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lucky Posted July 21, 2010 Report Share Posted July 21, 2010 Used to be or not, I think it's pretty cool Lee. I liked the Divinyls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lea Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 I googled the Divinyls and it said they were reuniting. Didn't check the date of the article but are you involved in that if they are Lee? After I googled I realized I know some of the music Very cool Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LeeBB Posted July 22, 2010 Report Share Posted July 22, 2010 No, not involved. The core of Chrissy and Mark has never really stopped in the last 30 years, but those around them come and go. I'll be working for the government in my llittle cubicle farm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuff Posted August 1, 2010 Report Share Posted August 1, 2010 I've played trombone for about 5 years, and can play a bit of euphonium/baritone too, as basically it's the same instrument. (I play baritone in marching band, trombone in concert/jazz band) I've also played marimba for about a year, since I joined indoor percussion last year at out school. We didn't get assigned insruments until the day we got out music, but we were taught technique, since hardly any of us had played mallets before. I got marimba I and LOVE it. If anybody's interested in seeing me play Marimba, click here. (Gnomon is our "name," like our HS guard is "Essay Perfornamce Company") I'm zoomed in on at 2:45.

Heimann47 Posted August 3, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2010 very cool, jonny! the marching section's choreography was impressive as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skuff Posted August 4, 2010 Report Share Posted August 4, 2010 Thanks! We got 6th place at Finals at the Championships in Wildwood that year. Not bad for being 2nd year it;s been around after a LONG break, because the school stopped supporting it. When our new band director got hired a few years ago, he decided to start it up again. Also, we did a very good job, because the show's music was very difficult for a bunch of wind instrument players on mallets. (The bassist does play bass though, and plays Bari Sax in marching band) Also, the highest 2 bass drums are actually wind players! (Bass Drum 2 was in Gnomon last year, though. He normally plays the trumpet) PS. Did you understand the concept of the show? It's called Variations of Canon. (in D) Each letter (C-A-N-O-N) represented a variation. There are also some Pop songs buried in there; "Can't Help Falling In Love," "With or Without You," and "Sk8er Boi" from what I recall. The snare part from Bolero is in there, too; You can't see the kid who was on Aux. Percussion 2 that often. He was next to the glockenspiel. Did you also get the part where we played the music forward, then backwards? That's what the spelling was. We ditched that for finals and the battery did some complex marching in silence.

MuzikTyme Posted April 12, 2011 Report Share Posted April 12, 2011 I'm positive that no one here at Songfacts is a musician. I'm also positive that jaws are agape. Surely, everyone here is a musician in their own right- the love of music breeds musicians. Nothing sounds so haunting and melancholy as a true steel guitar with a 3/4 slide. I've learnt part of it but as musicians know... There is never enough time to learn the perfect note unless you're immortal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
