I've been in a few bands, in fact I am in one right now, but we are sort of on hiatus. We have some rough recordings, but nothing I would want people to hear like that. In High school I played guitar for a while in a hard rock band, but the most we played was to ten people and we weren't the greatest. I was in the school band as well, and played the Baritone, I just wish it wasn;t so heavy or I would have brough it home to pracice more. Any of you besides Eddie Wilson doing any musical endeavours?

I have been playing piano since I'm five. I started playing by ear and my parents noticed so they asked me if I wanted to take lessons. I was like "what's a lesson?" Haha. In any event, I did take lessons from age five to about 13, in order to learn how to read music. At one point, I was considering going to Julliard. In the end, I decided I was not that diciplined about music. I do it for relaxation or a release, not a career. I also prefer playing by ear, which is something I definitely inherited from my Grandfather who could play almost any instrument without music.

I also loved singing in chorus in school and did it from sixth grade on. Music has always been a huge part of my life.

I sang terribly in a band for about a year. I dont know why they put up with me. This was during the "grunge" era so it didn't really matter if you could sing or not, you just had to scream your head off.
