Curious...

It seems that every so often one of the posters will drop a clue that they:

a. Play in a band;
b. Play an instrument or two or three;
c. Compose songs and play;
d. Have completely no musical talent, knowledge and are tone-deaf (isn't that where you can't get the right pitch for a song; sort of like Lucy in I Love Lucy?).

I know Nora, Jeremey, Liquid Drummer, Wally Hatchet, Brywool, I think Jeremy, PurplePlanet10, LFND are in bands but what do you play? Who else? I know I've missed a bunch of you (I'm sorry!) and there are a lot of lurkers, I think. Come, Mana, and tell us about your band, too, won't you? (I am a huge fan of Los Lonely Boys, by the way.)

It would be awesome to me to have a MelodicRock Journey Forum cd with samples of everyone's work on it, what do you think? Or maybe a list of everyone's bands on one of the t-shirts Andrew is thinking about doing. Too dumb? (Don't hurt me.)

Please don't drive this thread into the ditch anyone. I also hope that there might be some activity on my thread, but it too could go on life support, I guess (**sigh**).

P.S. Speaking as a "d," I don't consider it to be a real loser option because we make THE BEST fans in the world and SOMEBODY has got to be the fan. See you all later...

This is a great thread. I'm a 'd' also. I've got a decent ear for music, just not the patience or maybe ability to learn it. I've got a guitar that just sits in the closet.
I like the idea of a Melodic rock CD('s) of all of the good folks here playing on it. I think it would fly. I may not have the talent to play on it, but I might be able to make some copies of it for people or something like that. I would like to do my part in some way.

I'm happy to help make that happen....a digital album perhaps. Featured and promoted on the site.

I think this is a great idea, I would dig buying something from
folks I have comunicated with.

I'm a singer - been singing for about 20 + years. Trained clasically for about 4 years. Have done many musicals. Actress for same amount of time although I do much less of it now. Now, I am more involved with interpreting Theatre/Music for the Deaf.
But ironically I am recording a CD for my son now. A gift to him - he's only 6 so I'm sure he won't appreciate it until he's 30 or 40.. now he will just think I am a dork!

[Todd H]

Sounds like a great idea.

Right now most of my stuff just exists as rough Garageband tracks with no vocals. I've been meaning to buy a decent mic so I can start finishing up a few songs, but we're expecting a child soon so that's been taking up all of my free time. Maybe one of these days I can finish one or two up for you guys and gals.

Your not a dork... that's pretty cool. I wish I could sing, I cant carry a tune at all.
I play guitar but have been a slacker lately and haven't been practicing as much as I would like to.

Wouldn't work. Only HERE in THIS medium, WITH Avatar...those are all requisite elements to the comedy. 'swhy I TOLD you, if you ever do a standup gig, you should just stand there with an overhead projector, a laptop, an MR linkup and scroll the posts. I'd show up and roar.

I think I would qualify as a "D"(and not cup either)although I DO sound just like Pat Benatar in my car! I played the flute once long ago and can bang a little on the drums if pressed, but I like the side I'm on now...PLAYING the music for the masses.

[EclipticJourney]

I used to play keys and sing in a band, many moons ago. I do still dust off the old keyboard every once in awhile to jam with a friend of mine that plays guitar, as well as with my son, who is still learning to play guitar.

[Just_Plain_Eric]

Hi All,

www.cdbaby.com/ericnelson

I sing, write all the music and lyrics and play rythmn guitar on the cd.

My main influence is John Mellencamp so the music is acoustic guitar based. I have a bunch of great new material for a new cd but I have been pretty inactive lately so I haven't recorded. There's always tomorrow though!

Dude, please don't say this. I am in tears from laughing so hard. I would pay to see you perform. You use tapes?

[Red13JoePa]

I can do REALLY spot on Neal riffs with my mouth, like verbally.

No, I have no idea how good 13 is with his mouth. Maybe you should ask HOTS?
