Does it sound like a baby goat being murdered?

Why don't you listen to my band (link in sig) and find out?

+1! and I could add drums, too.

Guitar-playing is the drug I'm happily addicted to, IMHO.

Luckily I play with two bands. If not, my basses may collect dust.

I'm in four bands at the moment, so a minimum of four to five rehearsals a week, three hours each...plus gigs, of course...
Wish I could spend more time playing and less time trying to collect 'dead President trading stamps'...

Everyday.
I can't walk past them without grabbing one and bashing out something or other,usually quite badly!

i HAVE to pick some every day,usually it's just playing stuff i know or trying to learn,but it can be for 15 minutes or several hours depending on if the phone rings,or i have to fix dinner!

it's "just" bass these days,i have owned guitars and keyboards in the past,and just enjoy trying to learn on them.

I just had a wild thought: Is it possible that at any time, on any day, day or night, one or more of our members somewhere on the planet is playing a Rickenbacker?

But, of course! How could it be any other way?

I wish I could say I played every day.... it's what I wish I had time to do!
But alas, "real life" stuff often crowds out my life's passion, LOL!

I do try to play everyday. Some days I just don't have the time.
Maybe I should keep a kazoo in my pocket. Then I could say that I'm never without an instrument.

The only problem I have with practicing is that I get lost in it. So I will start at 8 p.m. and tell Megan I'll be in bed at nine. After I run through about half of what I wanted to get done, I look at the clock and it's midnight. Woops.
