Never heard that joke before, but being a keyboardist myself, having played in bands, it's sometimes quite true.
Don't get me wrong, I love good drummers, its the backbone of many musics/songs. My favorite is Phil Collins.

The drummer of Iron Maiden, Nick McBrain, used to have his own joke corner (only jokes about drummers) on the old Maiden-website

Well, I finally moved to the Big City after a few years in the Sierra Nevada's. I'm thinking about taking a few leasons just to break out of the box. I was trying to practice daily, but packing, unpacking, fixing stuff? It's a full time job.
Pity Me.

I remember, when I was still a little boy (I'm talking about the age of 8 now), I didn't really want to play an instrument  , but my parents actually forced me to, and now I am so grateful . The reason for forcing me was that my father had learned to play the clarinet when he was already 15 years old or so and he regretted that so much, that he wanted me to begin earlier.
There are not many things that are more beautiful than making music with friends, in front of an audience!

Then it's back to square one, rebuilding callus and trying to remember scales and such. Oh, to be young again. Me brother, RobJ, is a musician. If I had a nickel for every time he tried to get me off the sports and into playing music, I'd be $20.00 richer.  Of course I spent time in the choir in school and church. I had hair then.
My wife plays, fingerstyle, and sings wonderfully. We play now and then. Every conversation ends in a song reference.

It is always said that learning something the easiest when you're young. But, if you've never tried, you don't know... (maybe you're very musical!) Good luck! |
Trust me, it is not easy, but very very enjoyable - I just wish I had done this years ago

This Dale Hauskins guy sounds desperate. I think I posted this on a couple of previous threads. I used to play in a few local jazz bands but the best time I had playing was filling in for a few gigs with a Black Sabbath cover band. I think we played Livin`After Midnight as well. As I said the jazz musicians I played with had little or no interest in bands like Yes or Genesis.

If playing keyboards (mainly Roland synthetizers) means to be a musician YES
I've no time anymore and have just good souvenirs from my young time
I played too in to small bands just to enjoy music, not to be serious : "Crossing Over" and "Alea" : no releasings, no collectors, no bootlegs : nothing to the posterity !!

Max@
any chance the guest listings by Dale Hauskins could be removed en-masse from this site, they seem to be popping up on threads left right & centre.
I'm a very tolerant chap, but don't think these forums are the right place for self-promotion.
Thanks m'man

Just curous, how many of you on this forum are musicians yourselves? Any in bands? Releasing or released CD's? What's your instrument?
Inquiring Owls want to know. |
Hi Owl -
I'm currently learning (at the tender age of 40) Hammond, having obtained a 1971 L122 & Leslie 145 a while ago - I've said this before, but give it a while, then look out for a new tribute band "Uriah Creep"
