I went to see a band play this past week and it stirred up all these memories of being in a band in high school. Man did I love being in a band. It rocked! So who out there has also been in a band? There are enough of you that listen to music. How many play it?

    ...I play acoustic and electric bass. Buddy of mine is a professor on the drum kit, we like to get down every now and then.


    I use Ibanez guitars, Ampeg amps, DiMarzio interconnects, DOD pedals, GHS strings.

    Cheers,

    I've been in and out of various local bands for the last 36 years.
    It is great therapy! Currently, I am in an acoustic rock duo.
    I don't plan to stop anytime soon, because I like the free beer. LOL

    I play Carvin, Ovation, and Taylor guitars. Live music is like a cool beverage, drink often.

    Micah: "It's like this one time, at band camp....." :D

    P.S. I guess I can't say much since I was in the various band in high school. I was a trumpet player. I still have 3 of them laying around. I really need to play them......this is depressing.

    The drums. 3 bands.
    1. Fried Chicken

    2. Re-Fried Chicken

    3. D.A.P. (Disperse-a-Party)

    We would promise everybody, "Oh yeah Stones? We do them. Beatles? Couple songs." Then we would show up and jam to Mother's songs all night long. D.A.P.

    My fondest memory, was absolutely getting the **** kicked out of us by about 50 guys at this party. Not because of the music. We were from a different section of Brooklyn. Once that word started spreading around, all we hit was sour notes. I remember seeing my cousin go down, when one of my cymbals was frisbeed into the side of his head. Man it was a mess. Took me forever to get that cymbal squared away after that.

    Baritone, accoustic guitar, Chello, recorder and piano just enough to play Mary had a Little Lamb.

    Hi:

    I was in Air Force bands for 71/2 years. 1962--1969. Enjoyed it very much, but rank was vey slow and I got tired of the lifestyle.
    When I was in the AF Band of Flight, at Wright Patterson AFB, Ohio, in the summer months, we sometimes worked 35 - 40 days in a row. We always got compensatory time off.

    We usually had rehearsal in the morning from 8 till 10 or 11 with a break in between. After that if you didn't have a gig or individual practice the rest of the day was free. It was a real experience believe me.
