Musicality

Anybody that reads this blog play an instrument? I ask because I want to learn how to play a couple. By a couple I mean like 8. It's just a cool thing to know how to do. Strumming an acoustic guitar around a fire on a beach somewhere away from home. Playing a piano in the lobby of a majestic hotel. Flicking my fingers back and forth on a Yukelie while sitting Indian style on the platform of a busy subway stop. Banging drums in a garage and screaming obscenities. Killing a saxophone in a blue's club while a tall whiskey waits for me. Taking my bongos on the road and in wedding halls. Spitting hot on a harmonica like a skinny John Popper. Or straight rip a violin to shreds, enough to make a Beethoven fan cry tears of happiness.

I want to make one of those fantasies come true.

I tried picking up the acoustic guitar ... even practiced on my own for a couple of years ... I never put in enough time to become good, though.

I can't believe you didn't say you wanted to learn to play the jazz flute.
