I wish I played piano, but it's hard to carry a piano around with ya. I toot around on the harmonica too, but I'm certain it's pretty annoying. Congas as well.

Ban Basketball Posted December 17, 2022 Share Posted December 17, 2022 23 hours ago, BerniePragle said: Cool. I'm a campfire guitar listener. If I could play any instrument, it would be a harmonica. I always thought it would be cool to be able to just pull it out of your pocket and start playing wherever. Alas, I have less than zero musical ability, although I enjoy listening. I have the rhythm of Steve Martin in The Jerk. I'm also fascinated by music's effect on people, and also by the Mathematics of Music. Music Theory is the only mathematics that left me scratching my head. Here's a little good advice from Roger Miller. "You can't (xxx), but you can be happy if you've a mind to." If it's any encouragement, I've always been a huge music fan and collector, but only understood melody, as you do too. When I picked up the banjo I had to first learn music, but it was easy, and now I'm playing the instrument. All that in less than two years. So, there's hope. Steve Martin proved it too!

Not a Jr. fan at all, but I've been on record for a while now that III is the most talented Williams. I love him, but true to how he is, he walked away from it all several years ago and hasn't been seen since. Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!

Don't think I've mentioned, but Weir's wife, Tasha (I'm one who refuses to call her Natasha, which came into being when they got married), is an old friend of mine. We grew up together in Rochester, MN and we all hung out in one big group together. I missed by one person being included in an old picture that was shown in the documentary, The Other One. 1 Owner of over two decades of the most dangerous words on the internet!
