What Instrument(s) Do You Play??

Tanya & Fritz, you and Lut are funny. If you have ever seen the movie Big with Tom Hanks in it, he plays Chopsticks on the giant floor piano with his two big feet.
If he can do it with his feet you can do it with your two best typing fingers, its just a different kind of keyboard.

What I am jealous of is people who can play by ear without having the music sheets in front of them.
I remember one guy I went to college with would listen to a song on the radio and then like magic play it perfect on the piano. Now that is a talent!

I can't eat with chopsticks either. I attempted to eat chowmein with chop sticks at the Chinese Restaurant once, but I failed to even get one noodle on the sticks.

I find spoons to be a MUCH simpler way of eating! LOL!

opps I forgot an insurment all this talk of recorders reminded me, I can kind of play the tin whistle, it's like a recorder but it isn't...it's the one used for traditional irish music.

I am also proud to say that I can eat with chopsticks...I'm doing it right now actually, having a late supper, can't play them on the piano though.

He he I can eat with Chopsticks. At frst when I learned how I was at my friend's house and I didn't want to look out of place but I didn't know how, so I just sat there trying to pick up the food and everyone was staring at me!!

i played Trumpet for five years most people think its so easy cuz it only has three valuves but it was hard you needed alot of air to get the right notes.

Maybe that's why I can play so well.

I was in the band all 4 years of high school but I didn't play an instrument- I was in color guard- captain junior and senior year. So when people found out I was in band they would ask me what instrument I played, and I told them I played the flag!!

i agree with an earlier post.....i forget whose.....it is never too late to learn to play an instrument! it might even be more rewarding as the desire would be there!
