EDIT:

accordian, flute, guitar, multiple Irish whistles, indian flutes, Ocharinas, tenor sax, mini percussive things, keyboard, piano, an old pump organ has my name on it, and a mic and stand.... and of course, tambourines... ooh, and a bodrhan... and a fiddle...and a sampler box... but i still consider my larynx my "main" instrument. so portable.

i used to make a suplemental living at music, so to speak

This thread reminds me of a Stompin' Tom song "Luke's Guitar". "That woman of mine will be in a box of pine, before I hock my old guitar". My musical talents were limited to the trumpet and the glockenspiel. But with a few drinks, when my english degrades into its flocked melange of franglais - I'm playing the spoons with a passion!:lol:

Guitar, Paul Reid Smith SE Soapbar II electric and Segovia acoustic.

Ive played the drums for about 12 years, Was in a cover band called Full Effect in Ontario.

Brought the Air Guitar to yellowknife and so far its been a hit. Its hard to impove on tho.

Still play the drums. Looking for a bass player in YZF> PM me if you are one and like greenday, RATM, audioslave, ACDC type stuff.

My english takes a severe hit with a few drinks as well. I just don't have a second language for it to blend into.

Any guitar gear-heads out there in the Calgary/Edmonton area got a decent ring modulator they want to part with? Preferably a Gonkulator.

I thought the clitar was also known as a mouth organ

When played right it should be a religious moment as they are always lots of " ÖH GODS'" in there when done right

Any good blues people in YZF?

Looking for a drummer, signer, guitar, keyboards and bass players to put together The Great Slave Blues Band, or Crosswind Joe and the Sucker Holes.

Also a place to make noise at times with nobody throwing boots at us.

Please PM if interested

Have played the alto sax for the past 20 years or so. I probably could make a coulple of bucks if I hung out at the Granville St skytrain station. Good way to supplement my flying income. Trying to teach myself the acustic guitar but having a bitch of a time trying to blow into the hole to make a sound. The clitar is sounds like fun. How long do you have to play it before it makes a sound?

Own 3 guitars, two accoustic one electric. Envolved in musical theatre, also have done Barbershop quartet. I listen to almost anything, not much country though maybe one or two songs i can stand
