SketchUcation & Music?

[Humpmetwice]

I don't play anything but the organ but I have two real close friends that both write and sing their own music! They tried to get me to play my organ in their band but its one of those things you keep behind closed doors!

Heres one of their songs that they wrote when the one on the right wife left him.

My musical room:

Looking great Matt, your neighbours must be happy.

The neighbour across is deaf by the age, and the next door neighbor is a saxophonist. Great. I live in the Brittany countryside, there are many musicians here!
Here are bands I play with:

• Korkoj, math noise jazz rock (ahem). 50min song.
• Mermonte, pop. Ten musicians. And a little buzz around here. We will play for the first time (directly a little french tour) in april.
• Mantys, a little bit louder. Metal Hardcore.
• Fago sepia, math rock band. I replace band drummer when he can't tour. We will tour in Canad in august.
  A little video on a balcony in Rennes (do you know balcony TV?) with fago sepia. I'm the one with calabash.

Dear Eric,

This one is (virtually ) for you!

I have found this nice little "trompette de poche" in one of those shops which are taking advantage of the proximity to "Salle Pleyel" in Paris. I had taken the picture thinking it will be one day for you. It is the good occasion to deliver it to you I guess.

friendly,
simon

[boofredlay]

I used to have one of those. It plays horribly out of tune; sharp on one note and flat on the adjacent one. It was a fun toy but not much more.

This will be my next purchase, after the house is paid off first...

I played drums in my youth. Now I filmed them

@ Boofredlay: A shiny kit! How to spend your time cleaning fingerprints...
Here is my main kit, called "Germaine":

That sawblade must be hell on sticks. But probably great tone.

I "played" the trumpet when I was 12 or so. Mostly annoyed the neighbors with it. After about a year and a half the school's band instructor told my parents I should take up something quiet like painting.

I have been playing all my life. Currently I have a 70's Martin D-28, a 1936 Dobro (wood, and a real gem), A Guild archtop, and a couple of acoustics I built. The neck actually got amputated from one during our recent move.
Still dabble in songwriting, but recently only instrumentals.
This Picture is of the longest running band I was in, Joshua Hill. Taken sometime in June of 69 according to the poorly scanned photo, during our country rock phase. (damn I'm old)

Sure, rub salt in the old age wound

Dale, would that be a Fender Coronado in that picture? Never played one, but drooled over them back in the day.

Howmany CC is this? and secs to 100km/h?

[boofredlay]

Not sure I understand?
Unless you are making a joke then it was only 2cc and could only reach about 3km/hr.

The pocket trumpet I had was a Jupiter. I paid around $200 for it in 1987. I used it in a couple solos on stage while touring Europe, used it a couple more times after our return then promptly sold it. I understand some of the newer ones play rather well though.

You nailed it. Discontinued in the early 70's. Typical Fender headstock. All other semi hollow bodies of the day had that blocky Gibson like headstock.
After John Lennon used his Epiphone Casino to record the White Album and Let it Be, semi hollows were all the rage, and it is said this was Fenders entry into that market.
