Who Here Is Also Actually A Musician?

I play bass in a (non-prog) covers band. I also dabble a bit on the guitar and mandolin.

I have a Yamaha PSR-4600 keyboard and an acoustic and electric guitar. I like to have the Eagles' Hell Freezes Over DVD playing in the background acting as a "backing band" while I play along to it on electric guitar, although I would hardly call myself a "musician". That would be stretching the definition of musician a little too far.

Does playing the washboard and ukulele count?

I am a classically trained pianist and also play other keyboards, vibraphone, xylophone, marimbaphone, guitar, recorder and sing

I self taught myself guitar and piano in the 1970s, as did my three brothers. We began accumulating "gear" in the 1980s as keyboards got cheaper and sequencing, MIDI, and sampling technologies became easier. Our new friends had names like Polk, Nakamichi, Sony, and Carver; Casio, Alessis, Ensoniq, Prophet, and Korg; Amiga, Apple and MacIntosh; Garcia, G & L, Fender, and Guild; Ludwig, Paiste, Roland, and Djembe. We set up a full-time jamming and recording studio in my brother's great room in 1984 or 5. Recorded endless weekend jam sessions fueled by beer and pizza (and the occasional Thanksgiving turkey) and many, many guests--all of whom brought their particular talents and gear (e.g. ChapmanStick, "Fripp-in a-box," congas, and other portables). Had a blast for about six years when marriages and children "broke up the band" around 1991. One brother still keeps it up (the one with the studio and all the keyboards). For a while he was editing all those hours of analog and digital audio tapes and issuing CDs complete with photos, titles, and liner notes! It was awesome!

I'm a classically trained pianist and started when I was 7.  I have also played in a band back in the 70's called The Gazaans.  You won't find anything on us .  I play all keyboards.  I also majored in Music Composition at USU, and have composed several things and have many in process, mostly song cycles that seem to be somewhat Impressionist.  Most of my work has been piano solos both original and heavily re-arranged, but I have also done organ works and have arranged for small orchestras and percussion ensembles, many of which have been performed at various places including auditoriums.  My dream was to compose soundtracks, but my first wife helped squash that dream unfortunately.

I'm a drummer/percussionist. I'm in a cover band that plays out on the weekends & substitute in a few local bands from time to time. 

I'm a singer. I gave a long break and we've been working on our first full-length album with my first serious band Celestial Asylum (a symphonic prog-power band). I recorded a demo album with the same band in 2003 and/or 2004 (released in 2004). I also recorded a full-length album with my second serious band Knightmare in 2005-ish (released years after).

I started to play guitar in a very small boy. Some years later my brother hasn´t got bassplayer, he said I could come into his band if I started to play bass. I started. We were on the bandcamp one summer and there I learned to play drums (played it in two bands). I have had really many small bands, in one band we made three e.p:s and one single (self-released, just noticed someone has put them into rate your music sites). In 2000`s i made recordings with tascam four-track recorder. At the moment I have acoustic blues trio.
