Who plays what?

No ulterior motives for asking, just innocent curiosity.

What instrument(s) do you play?

I'm basically a guitarist but have performed on blues harp, keyboards, bass, and occasional vocals...which is a bit like an occasional table, and almost as musical.

Re: My wife says I should get a hearing test?

I told my wife for years that she needed a hearing test and she finally consented to see the quack about getting one. Long story short: she now has hearing aids and every time I play some music she tells me I'm playing it too loud, therefore I must need my hearing tested. Be careful what you wish fo...

Re: Unsung Heroes

Harry Chapin Check out Mr. Tanner which I've linked below, and watch out for bass player "Big" John Wallace. If you enjoy it then I urge you to listen to "Greatest Stories Live" by Harry; one of the best live albums (in my opinion of course) you'll ever hear. http://www.youtube.c...
