I've been wondering who in the UFP plays a musical instrument, so I thought I'd ask.
With so many members we must have alot of musicians, so...
Tell us the instrument/instruments that you play...
Are you in a band or group...
And how long have you been playing...

I play Guitar, banjo, dobro, steel guitar, bass, drum and some keyboard. My mom was a bonfied hllbilly and grew up playing blue grass she taught me to play at a young at very young age.
Use to be in a hobby band in High School in the late 70s and in 78/79 we won Norther Nevada Battle of the Bands was really cool. Haven't done much since the mid 80s I pick up my Gibson every so often and plink a bit but that is about it.
I was 5 when my mom started teaching me and I am 52 now so a long long time.

I play the Cello. Have done for the last 12 years. I'm in a large orchestra and in a group that play at parties and weddings.
Hoping to get an Electric Cello later this month.
I also play the Double Bass and, occasionally, the Bass Guitar.

Played the trumpet in school, wasn't great but eh, wasn't the worst either.
Since then I sometimes play keyboard or piano, learned contemporary versus tradition classical style. Been playing off an on for the past 10 years. Mostly as a professional sound engineer I've resigned to making others sound great.

I used to play the guitar. I was self-taught and since I'm not a musical person (unlike my sister) I wasn't very good. I could play such hits as:
X-Men cartoon theme
Call of Ktulu - Metallica
Imperial March - Star Wars
Final Fantasy 7 boss theme
My sister, on the other hand, is becoming very talented. She plays Saxophone, Flute, Piano, Guitar although the piano is her main instrument. She's not a Trek fan but is heavily into Battlestar Galactica and it was a very proud day for me when she recently bought the piano book that McCreary recently released :icon_twisted:
