started with trumpet in 6th grade, but i sucked at it
switched to baritone in jr high
migrated over to French horn/mellophone in high school
plunked around on piano at home but never really committed
picked up guitar and again didn’t really get good with it
then my highschool band director asked if i would play bass guitar for our spring jazz band concert
48 years later, i’m still at it
spoiler alert: i think i’ve gotten pretty good

Bass and working on guitar.

I have been playing guitar since age 11, in and out of bands my whole adult life. I’m 38 and I still play every single day. It has been a life of devotion and obsession.
From the first time I heard SRV’s Texas Flood I was hooked. I grew up in a house that had KC & the Sunshine Band, CCR, Boston, Prince, Journey, AC/DC cranked up all the time, my parents liked to party.
All of the kids in the friend circle got instruments. We all still play to this day. My brother is an insanely talented drummer.

Saxophone, Guitar, and banjo well enough to say I can play the banjo, but that's about it.
Oh... does the recorder count? If that does... then.. well... everyone who at least went to school in the 70s and early 80s knows that one.
