Subdeacon Joe Posted December 31, 2024 Author Posted December 31, 2024 I'm trying to think of instruments that I don't like. I can't really think of any. I might not care for some styles of music on some instruments - a lot of classical piano comes to mind, same for classical violin, because it is too random for my taste, sounds like a cat wandering on the keys for half an hour. Don't care much for bagpipe ceòl mór aka piobaireachd. Quote
Rip Snorter Posted January 2 Posted January 2 Was privileged to hear a wonderful bagpipe solo performance on a mountainside in Wyoming at dusk - unforgettable, and quite remarkable. 2 Quote
watab kid Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) my father played plectrum banjo in his dixie band , my brother and his wife both play along with a couple other folks that make up their all banjo band , they play a good number of venues every year , i rather like the sound , i also like the pipes , im a scotsman , maybe thats why , but i find it to be a very rewarding listen - dont hurt when its attractive young ladies playing it either , had to come back and relate that my father decided to play banjo later in life , which means that when i was in high school he was teaching himself , my bedroom was in the basement in those days , his practice area was outside my door , there are a couple tunes that i dont hear without remembering those painful days , he was very good later in life when i had left home , he had organized a band that played a lot of places including the bix biederbeck festival in davenport iowa as well as san fransico and st louis festivals , he even organized a local to the hometown festival that drew big name bands every summer , but ill always remember that plinking sound outside my bedroom door every night of my high school years Edited January 2 by watab kid Quote
bgavin Posted January 2 Posted January 2 (edited) They say a Gentleman is a guy who knows how to play a banjo.... and doesn't Others speak of Perfect Pitch... where they can get the banjo into the dumpster without hitting any of the sides. (I'm a life long banjo player). And I have a great love of the instrument. Edited January 2 by bgavin 1 Quote
