Play an instrument?

I think we need to form a band, so we can play a benefit concert for David Wright's game. We'll get together, say, prior to the Sept. 9 game against the Dodgers. I got trombone and backup vocals.

Didn't we do this once? I sang lead and played a little keys and a little guitar in a rock band in high school.

I used to play the drum pad.

Voice.

Instrument - yes. Band instrument, no. Used to play the cello. Its a bitch to play if you're marching. Later

OK, the Kranepools: Willets Pt. -- vocals Dickshot -- trombone YSG -- drums Wolf -- guitars, keys MFS -- cello We still need a bass player, some chick backup singers and another guitarist, maybe a tambourine shaker. Come on: This is for David Wright.

I'll play the Bodhrán for ye.

Can I be the shady record company exec that steals the group's money?

Impulse 2 plays the clarinet, but she has plans 9/9.

Dan Bern's gotta whole buncha guys for you And somewhere in the distance, an orchestra shows its face With Natalie on the oboe, Ty on double bass John plays the viola, Slik the tenor sax James he blows harmonica in vanilla skin-tight slacks Hugo oozes alto sax, Ivory the trombone Masuda squawks the trumpet, Andre xylophone Ron he shreds the violin. in a green Italian suit Mike talks on the telephone on a tape with an endless loop Geoff he blows the clarinet with an old-time rockin' feel Charlie dings the triangle, Dave the glockenspiel Chris puffs on the tuba, H a big bass drum Alfonso throbs the cello like he would a woman, with his thumb And high up on the podium in tails with his baton poised Banksy leads the orchestra in a glorious, awful noise And on a float of dripping oil paint the orchestra, it played Kissing the whole universe in the Thanksgiving Day Parade -- Thanksgiving Day Parade

My oldest plays the drums in the state concert band...

I thought about it some more. If the Beatles (Yesterday), Electric Light Orchestra and the Eurythmics used celli in rock/pop music, count me in. Now I've just got to figure out where my cello went. My parents got rid of it over 40 years ago. Later

I can add some twangy 12-string, but if somebody's bringing a bodhran my bouzouki might be more appropriate.

Matt Kinter wants in.

I haven't played trombone in a while, but given how much I used to play, it should be easy to get back up to speed. Like riding a bike. You want to battle for the position, Dickshot, or just take second chair right now?

metirish Aug 28 2006 10:37 PM

WOW, Battle trombone is on...have at it guys.

ScarletKnight41 Aug 28 2006 10:51 PM

May I play tamborine?
