A bit of everything - guitar, vocals, harmonica (Neil Young etc.), banjo, digeridoo!!, poetry. Taking my first chanter lesson soon - for the non Scots the chanter is the first step to learning the bagpipes. Love the Irsh pipes also.

I'd like to be able to play guitar but until then my lyrics are poems. I like writing stories aswell, using my imagination. |

you should start crow. it's easy enough to teach yourself. all you need is a guitar, a chord book, and a little motivation.

I would not say in an egotistical manner that I am good at any paticular art, but I did get into art school...I just love all the arts and have par-taken in all areas.

I have some advice for anyone who is writer. If you are ever stuck, go to a poetry reading. It will completely clear your head.

I play a lot of guitar and dabble in harmonicama, bongos and bamboo-flutes (the latter 3 are verrry experimental and not good), and am actually studying for a BFA [img]smileys/smiley1.gif[/img]

I am a musician. I come from classical guitar training with my bachelor of music degree. but have been performing in the singer/songwriter form as of late. think that i have found my niche in that. But I do try to combine some of the classical guitar technique into the songs that I play.

RTBuddha... I'd definitely like to hear some of your stuff. Are you familiar with Béla Flecks side-projects into classical music? You should check it out definitely.

yeah! i actually just got his CD Perpetual Motion. I love what he did with a lot of the pieces. it was a little strange to listen to because i am so used to the guitar transciptions which are for 6 strings, of course. and to hear the pieces, especially the bach suite, revoiced to play on the banjo and missing a chunk of the bassline threw me for a bit. but i have been a huge fan of bela and all of the flecktones for years. especially vic wooten. they are all phenomonal musicians, but for some reason vic is the one that gives me chills. as of my music, iam in the process ofrecording my songs right now. so idon't haveany ofthatready to share yet, but i do have recordings of my classical work. don't have them posted on the internet yet though. |

This is going to be a little left-field, but what about Bella an Sebastian. Feelings on the music?

Okay, here goes. I have done theater, painting, sculpture, photography, film, writing, poetry, piano, ha ha..does a recorder count?, culinary art, Speech and Deate, set design, sewing misc., uh...I am sure there are more...unfortunately I dance with two left feet (except for going clubbing) and I sing like I swallowed a hawk whole and it got stuck and started to squawk. Soooooo I do not dance or sing. Other than that, I do everything art.
