Title: Gulfstream's Trombone
Post by: fireflyr on October 06, 2006, 01:05:41 PM
OK fellow aviation enthusiasts, We got us a new topic, how many of you are musically inclined ? Gulfstream Driver has confessed to the trombone. |:)\ Is there a correlation between aviation and musical creativeness ? I used to play bass baritone, ukelele, guitar, banjo, drums, and piano----my singing voice however, leaves a lot to be desired ! :-\

I used to play the piano when I was a kid and then again 10 years ago or so....
I don't even know how many instruments my brother plays.... but it's more than two.....

I played the trumpet through middle school but had more important things to do once I got to high school.

Don't everybody laugh at once...
I took accordian for a while. I took piano, too. I'm still trying to get the hang of those black and white keys. I play the computer and DVD player pretty well, though.

That sounds a bit like me as well. I tried guitar in Jr. high but it didn't go well. too bad since I am a music aficionado. Not to mention that my dad was a professional musician in his younger days and my Mom was trained as an operatic singer (soprano) and with those genes, you'd think that I could play something....... NOPE. I couldn't carry a tune in a C-5.

Tenor clarinet and alto saxophone in elementary and middle school. Got too interested in chicks and hunting in high schools and never picked either back up.

We could get a trombone choir together at the training camp. I hear a polka song coming on.

Heads up C310R Captain!!!
If this happens and the group attends Airventure next year, you could have a situation that rivals that band that causes all that trouble in the Cessna 195 parking/camping area!!!! :D :D

Hello Mates! I never had any good ear, and never learnt to play any musical instrument well. but at school i had to learn to sing the flute. I'm much better singing the door bell, though......... :) :)

How does one sing a flute? That sounds really difficult. ;)

Let me tell you: it is difficult and for me it has always been difficult. thing is I could not change it. and during the school representations I was usually standing on the real last place, so that nobody could see that I was playbacking on the others! :) music lessons were a nightmare and wonder if I was insufficient in music?!? :)

Ooh! Why didn't I see this topic earlier? I really love music!!
Like my brother, I enjoyed about ten years of piano classes. We didn't really have to fight about the piano at home, because neither of us was practicing very hard... Someday though I decided that I wanted to learn guitar, so I bought myself a classical guitar when I was about 17 I think, and a few months later my first e-guitar. The plan was to become irresistible for the girls, which I bet was the reason most e-guitarists started out in the first place. Needless to say, it didn't work... At least while I was practicing scales in my room, no girls mysteriously appeared. I was only annoying my brother with it! ;D So, for all of you who have the same plan: You need to play guitar IN A BAND! That's more likely to increase your chances. ;)
Anyway, some time later I formed a band with some of my buddies, and although I have played in a lot of other bands too, we're still at it! After 10 years (on and off) of playing with each other, we're a pretty tight band by now! ;D If anyone happens to be in Vienna this weekend, we'll have the first gig since 2,5 years this Saturday! I'm really looking forward to it!!
