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.

Doc-take it easy John this is just a sharp scalpel. It will not cut deep so don't worry.
Me-I'm not John
Doc-I know, I am!
