Realistically, how long have you given this thing?

A couple weeks?

Learning any new instrument takes time, daily repeated practice, etc.

Yes there are some powers we lose as we get older, but oftimes they are often much offset by the wisdom we have gained. Or they should be.

I just want to learn enough to look cool. In Taike's poll (above), keyboard players didn't even make the cut. In fact, based on that, I may have to dust off that guitar/amp combo I bought at Costco a few years ago. I was gonna give it to my grandson, but now.......I don't know.

You crack me up, Chas!

But, hey, women do fall for pilots!

Chas, I said something about a set of cocktail drums I got Logan for Christmas. We have replaced a couple of pieces of hardware and some heads, are using different cymbols, and I'm using them as described in a previous post into a louper to develop tracks for film.

I played drums in California 5 nights for a couple of years and always have congas and other percussion equipment on my bandstand.

This week-end, the trio consisting of Logan (upright), grandson Del (these little drums) and me ( Yammaha NP-30 and nylon string guitar)are playing Friday and Saturday at a nearby country club.

So, Chas (excuse what follows, please-I just HAD to do it), "JUST BEAT IT"!(LOL)

Is there an echo in here ???? ... or is that just the reverb from the guitar player's amp?!?!?

Okay, okay. You guys have outdone yourselves. I'm with Russ. Good (mostly) clean fun and not an insult, put-down, or bad mouth in sight. Of course we need to talk 'arrangers' 70% of the time in order for the board to keep it's credibility, but since we've already established that the board is @ 95% male, it's only natural that we lapse into complete silliness once in awhile. Sadly, we can't stay young forever but luckily, we can stay immature .

HEY RUSS!!! ... no editing the double post ... you TOTALLY killed the meaning of my 'echo in here' post ... man, I get in (what I think is) a funny line, and you have to mess it up !!!
