Hey, in Susan's defence, guys, I've heard it called "tickling the ivories" many times before! I do play the piano myself, and have had a couple of years of vocal training too. But Rusty does act like he's in pain sometimes when I'm practicing the piano! Oh, and Ryan, if you read this thread, I'm going to admit something to you.....I'm terribly jealous of that electric piano that you have, that's one of my dream things to own!

I studied voice, and actually used to be a really good singer. My vocal cords were damaged a few years ago, so my voice is gone now, but before that happened, I was compared to Celine Dion. Now, I just concentrate on my art.

I have played piano, guitar, and bass, but rarely play any now though at one time I played all. My first love would probably be the piano but I had a rock band in highschool and I played bass in it. My bf plays guitar and sings in his band, as well as playing bass and drums for personal enjoyment. My mother is a soloist in church and at weddings/funerals and stuff, and my father is a pianist in the same capacity, they are lovely together (dad was in a band when he and my mom met too)
We are a VERY musical family.

So wow, we have some extremely major talented folks here.
Katherine, a 5 octave range? Dang girl, I'm going to start calling you Mariah.
And we even have a fiddler! That is too cool. That is the #1 instrument that I'd love to play; bluegrass rules.
Well, what're we waiting for? Let's start the band!!!

I can play the piano, but haven't for a long time, so I'm pretty rusty too. I also can play the guitar, which I do fairly often. AND I can play O Come All Ye Faithful on the recorder! lol I can sing well enough, but my sister and mom are actually quite good, better than me.

Too bad all you guitarists live too far away.... I'm looking to learn!

My mom started taking guitar lessons here in Savannah a few years ago (she only went to 2 lessons though). But the cool thing is who her teacher was. None other than the sister of Greg Allman of the Allman brothers!!! How is that for cool???

Ooh, thanks for starting this Elizabeth! I'm going to add vocalists and saxophones to the group as well.

I picked saxophone only b/c that is my favorite instrument and the one I'm probably best at. I'd like to sing, too, but it'd be hard to play the sax and sing at the same time. Besides, I look too cool in my nifty jazzy saxophone sunglasses

Hmmm, Susan, I certainly hope you do not need to give any oral presentations at work before you have your morning coffee

I played the oboe very well, but have slacked on that for about 3.5 years. Im certain it would immediately come back to me. Sometimes Ill hear a classical piece, and ill REMEMBER THE NOTES
. So eventually Ill buy myself a decent Oboe. Other than that, I do play guitar (I have 3, 6 string acoustic, 12 string acoustic, and an electric). I sing all the time, was never taught anything - I just like it.

Oh yeah Sax , my Dad would kill me! and add Oboe, forgot that.
