Grandma was a piano teacher who sat us in her lap before we could walk or talk and hammer out simple tunes with our little baby fingers. Lessons were mandatory by age four, but I was never any good at it. The school board bought us a set of band instruments in the sixth grade and I went straight at the tenor sax. I wasn't any good at that either, but i wanted it, but not to earn a living with it. i love playing music with other people in front of an audience.

Since college, I've only played on street corners, in drum circles or open jams. When my career in the life sciences tanked in the mid 80's, music kept me alive in the streets until I could get a leg up in the gem and mineral trade and make ends meet better.

Today, my principal instrument is a curved soprano sax backed by a soprano recorder and djembe. Sometimes i can get on a keyboard and it will play me, but i still can't play it. Same with a guitar. I've had really well tuned guitars handed to me that just flew under my fingers until i had ripped the pads off all my fingertips, but i can't consciously play the thing. I can only do that with saxes and flutes and I still think I suck at it, but I have a lot of people fooled into thinking otherwise and i have moments now and then when I impress myself.

If it helps, we also think you suck at it.

Kill yourself.

i have moments now and then when I impress myself.

do you really? have you heard your garbage lately?
jesus, man. get your ears checked.

 

[I raped a dog 2day]

Isn’t that the sax you keep getting stolen? How many times have you said it was stolen now? 6? Or are we up to 7 now?

 

[break these cuffs]

I still think I suck at it

You do. This might be the only cogent thought that will ever manage to work its way through decades of drug abuse, dumpster diving, and mental illness into consciousness. Listen to it.

On what instrument did you start playing music? Do you still play that instrument??

I play the butt trumpet.

At least we know that being a pedo runs in the family.

You never had a career, Tom. And your rich daddy's trust fund kept you alive in the streets until the taxpayers were forced to feed & house you. You never once attempted to pull your own weight in life or become an adult.

Today your principal instrument is the skin flute, backed by the fragrant, lice-ridden pubes of the hobos you blow for your only IRL sexual contact.

It depends on what you mean by "started". The first instruments I ever fucked around with were baby keyboards, and yes, I still play piano/keyboard. However, it was mostly just me pounding away at the things; I didn't "play music" on my baby Casio keys except in the very loosest possible sense of the term.

The first instrument I took lessons for was either the flute (parents made me) or maybe the recorder (dad played recorder). Flute I gave up in like a month or two without ever learning anything (I was being obstinate; I wanted to play either the harp or drums, and resented being trundled off to flute classes), and recorder isn't really an instrument.

The first instrument I actually tried to learn and took seriously enough to "play" "music" on was the guitar. I probably still remember stuff, but no, I don't play guitar anymore, as I switched from strings back to keys in highschool.

I've heard you play sax, Tommie, but never guitar or keyboard. Do you have any videos you could share?

You eat garbage and live in a hovel.

For once I’m going to actually answer your question without being a dick.

My first real instrument besides like a Recorder or a Maraca was Accordion. A member of my family was a somewhat famous Accordion Player and had a spare one laying around and I started with it. I wasn’t any good. I still have it somewhere but I haven’t really messed with it in years.

I was a drummer and a keyboardist mostly. Sure I tried Bass and I still want to buy a set of Tabla just to play around with but I mostly just stick to Drums these days. I’m told by a buddy I was always too hard on myself about Bass but I really do get more enjoyment out of drums and keys are just fun in general. I also very briefly tried Oboe but it was in Middle School band, I was okay at it but again I prefer percussion.

My dad is a pretty good Guitarist, not like Clapton level but he can play some pretty good tunes both Electric and Acoustic. When I was a kid he used to play Sweet Child of Mine for my sister and I pretty much every night. No vocals, my dads a terrible singer. However he did get the Guitar just right. I wanted to play guitar for a while but too many people were already taking it up. Figured it would be better to try Bass and when I got around to it, I still thought my drumming was better.

I played with a few Post-Punk and Indie groups for a while, those were some fun times. Eventually though I kind of got burnt out on both scenes. I still play my Keyboard here and there, an old Casio. I sold my Drum Kit because I wasn’t using it anymore. It takes up a lot of space. Good thing is I have a friend with a really nice one I can play here and there. I really should pick up that old Accordion again and give it a try.

Tom, even if I absolutely despise you. If you do enjoy music keep at it. I don’t know the first thing about Sax. You aren’t great at it but with practice you will improve. It’s a better hobby than posting about Gender Politics and whatever sexual fetishes you have. I do not like you, I can’t say that enough but even someone I don’t like, if I share a passion with them I’ll swap a story and give advice to.

Hope that helps.

FUCK OFF Tommy. KF is not AMB or Facebook, or Tumblr. We are not your friends. We will not give you asspats.

 

[Mariposa Electrique]

Here's an impression of Tom.

 

[Ketamine Kat]

Mr. Tooter you are the farthest thing from a musician... If you had some humility you'd recognize that.

Simply blowing on a sax while fiddling your fingers erratically is not playing the instrument and it reminds me of when children first get an instrument and just play with it, not actually playing it.

sucking bum cock is not being a musician you dog fucker

Playin’ the belly trombone.

 

[Easy Peasy]

To answer seriously, I've played the piano since I was a young peasy, and have continued to play into early middle age peasy. I also played various brass instruments in school.

The rest of it was tl,dr. I'm not joining any Facebook group you belong to. I get enough of your degeneracy here.

 

[DancingDino]

Only instrument you play is the skin flute you sack of shit
