How many musicians do we have?

Banjer mostly, never could fiure out the guitar, but the dobro is coming along slowly. I built my own carbon fiber dobro and I wish I could play it to its full potential. Gotta mandolin and fiddle but use 'em to keep crows out of the garden mostly. Sounds like a cat fight when I get warmed up!

I started playing drums when I was 5. Not anymore, I don't have the stamina. I still play percussion on the steering wheel. I was also, the regimental drummer in a Civil War reenactment group. That was fun. I had a Ludwig rope tension drum made in WWII.
I took up blues harp about 25 years ago and played a lot, for years. I then got remarried and quit playing in bars.
I always wanted to learn piano and steel drums, but I never learned anything where I'd have to run scales and stay in key. I'm probably too old to learn, now, so I just shoot guns.

You can play banjo but can't figure out guitar? I'm no string player, but, I thought that if you learn scales on a necked instrument, you had them all figured out. No?

I play guitar, have for 20 years. Have been in a couple of bands, 2 that actually did somethimg beyond being local. Moved to chicago(don't do what I did), to join a regional metal/industrial band.
Now I play only for me, have bought and sold way more equipment than I ever needed to. Worked my way down to just a les paul, a 5150, and a few effects. I enjoy life a lot more without the stress, and lack of a yrue home without touring or gigging.

You forgot to replace bass player with keg of beer. Good bass players are the hardest to find, and when you do they are the worst to contain. At least with a keg you can tap into the goodness, and the head is only as big as you want.
