OK I'll start.
At 10 I started trumpet lessons in school. At 14 I saw an older teenager playing a guitar and a lot of girls were around him. Thus I got me a guitar! In high school I also learned the French horn. In marching band I was first chair trumpet but in symphonic band I was first chair in the French horn section. During high school I was playing in rock bands. In one band I was the lead guitarist for that older teen that I admired above; I was playing in bars with him when I was a teenager!

After high school I was in a rock band playing trumpet and lead guitar. We were offered but refused a contract with Atlanta records. Back then I was one of the very few guitarist that could read music so after that band broke up I was hired in a wedding band with horn players, thus I quickly picked up on reading in Eb, Ab, Bb, and F cool I played in my wedding band until I retired from gigging.

I should add that around 15 I started piano lessons. I wanted to play like Jerry Lee but my teacher, the organist from our church, won't teach me that. So I quit. Something that I regret to this day.

But with BiaB I can still play. After playing for audiences I am now only playing for my enjoyment. I have added bass, wind controller, breath and keyboard controllers, and a MIDI guitar controller to my weapon arsenal.

One last thing is that I have been teaching guitar since the late 1960s, both from home and in music stores. Around 2014 I added teaching bass. Covid ended my teaching as I really haven't tried to get any students.

Music was my avocation.

Oops to answer your question guitar is still my instrument of choice.

Why is it that doctors call what they do 'practice'?
If flying is so safe, why do they call the airport, the terminal?
