I play most brass instruments. Also a little sax and clarinet. I sing some, thats why Pearls calls me Elvis. I've always wanted to learn to play guitar and piano. Do you have any idea how hard it is to sing with a trumpet or French horn in your mouth?

I played the trumpet for many years. In my dreams, I can still play like I did when I was younger. Perhaps a BP band is in order.

I play a half a** fiddle and a fairly good banjo, I played drums a long time in high school in both marching band as well as kettle drums. I have some what learned to play a lap harp, I bought it at a country fair years ago and it was hand made. Currently I have four guitars two electric but one needs some work on it as it needs a tuner screw fixed, one classical and one I picked up in a garage sale for $5.00.

I am a classically trained singer (soprano). Since having children, I am no longer as busy singing as I once was. When living in Vancouver, I sang with 4 different choirs throughout the city and was a paid singer in one of the church cathedral choirs. I currently mainly sing at weddings and have done 2 funerals in the past year. I do not like to sing at funerals...
Thanks for starting this thread!

That's super awesome

I wish I could sing professionally but only sing when asked by churches. I bet singing at funerals is tough...

Definitely, some of my best memories of young adulthood was being in marching, symphonic and concert band.

I still laugh being a trombonist and every Halloween parade, we "bones" were ALWAYS behind the Clydesdales. So grateful for my parents they purchased a vintage "Olds" trombone for me, rose trim with amazing calligraphy. No "F" attachment, had to get that note the old fashioned way.....stretch that arm baby.

Thank you for starting this thread.

Super cool, Blade!

So you play a whole gamut of instruments? I couldn't imagine how difficult it is to sing with a brass instrument in general. I had always thought double-tonguing on the oboe was tough, but singing while playing brings it to a whole other level.
