I know of a certain drummer from across the pond and a certain guitarist on this end of the pond...Are any of you others musically inclined? I do session work here and a reasonable amount of live stuff. Just think, a retro band called "the Rewinders." how novel... Posted by shaz (Member # 1886) on :
I sing and boyf is percussionist (bongo's, kit drums and jambo).
Have you heard of a band called Jiggle the Handle? I don't know what they're like as they're unknown in the UK I think but i'm cousin to one of the guy's in the band.

Hello Jaymi you big bald dude... My apologies again (i feel so silly).
My voice is my instrument ive been a singer for ages, still struggling but i will make it, there is no doubt in my mind.
My influences are Portishead, massive attack and my favorite artist is David Bowie.

I come from a family that is artistically and musically gifted. Unfortunately I am niether. I like the 80s, thats what I'm good at.

LOL @ Ali! triangle-yeaaaaaaaaaaaah!
i also come from a family with musical talent. my dad sings and plays piano/keyboard. a lot of my cousins/aunts/uncles sing as well.
when i was in 2nd grade, i took piano lessons to learn how to read music. now, i do everything by ear and memory. i want to learn drums, but i would look silly playing.

whoa ali, you are a RETRO AMBASSADOR..how snazzy Posted by TresFoxy (Member # 542) on :
Ali you play the trianle???? I play the Spoons!!! I can also play a mean pot or pan whateveris available!!! But seriously, I really do evny those of you that do have actual musical talent for I am lacking in all aspects of music. In the musicals that I have done they told me not to sing just sit there and look pretty mouth the words. My specialty was dancing and acting...All the world is a stage.... and I'm sure we are all the biggest hams out there! If we weren't we wouldn't be at this site!!

I like to sing, but good luck getting me to sing for ya. I have a little stage fright...actually it's more like person fright. I can't sing infront of a hand full of people but put me on a stage where I can't see who's out there and how many are out there and I'll sing!!! Posted by TKO (Member # 1471) on :
I play acoustic slide guitar and some blues harp. And oh yeah,…I can whistle the theme of ‘Jaws’. Does that count??? Posted by Jessica Rabbit 2 Russian Rabbit (Member # 1904) on :
Wow Shaz thats so cool, My friends say i sound a bit like beth too but she is a million miles away from me she is F*!king Excellent... I would like to hear your stuff Shaz!
I met Beth Gibbons earlier this year when she done her concert with Rustin man (Seasons) She is so cool... Have you heard that album its so different.

I'm also jealous of those of you that have musical talent. I do enjoy acting a bit, but I love music. It's just too bad music doean't love me! I was thinking of trading up my triangle for a tambourine. Sad thing is, I think I might need lessons. Posted by cindymancini (Member # 679) on :
Good topic Jaymi! Yes, I play piano. I started playing by ear when I was 4 or 5 and then took lessons in order to learn how to read music. I've been playing ever since. Definitely a good stress reliever. My grandfather played violin and alot of other instruments by ear so I owe him any talent that I have .
