Any musicians on this forum?
Just curious if any of you play musical instruments and if so what do you play?

I've been taking and playing my Banjo to Baja for decades. One of many of my favorite things to do in Baja and life is being in remote Baja is
learning new songs and playing my favorites. Recently we put our instruments on donkeys and went on multi day trips in the mountains and played
ranchero music with the guides. They haven't ever seen a banjo. I'm headed down soon with the 5 string.

Is,
That is awesome real deal baja.
I have a 5-string here in town. So far as I know, I'm the only one that bonks on a banjo here. My baja banjo went underwater in hurrican Paul, but it
came back for another life, like me!
I need to figure out how to carry it on a quad to the remote ranchos without beating it to death! They would love it!
Banjos are life.

That's awesome! I also play. Main instrument is the bass but I also play guitar and a little piano. I have a drum kit but I really don't play that
well. I just have them so drummers don't have to lug their kits to my studio.

I've always wanted to learn to play the banjo. Just haven't got around to it yet. That and the pedal steel.

I have been playing guitar for 50 years. I sound like a gifted guitarist who just started playing two weeks ago. I would love to start a rock band
where I can be the lead guitarist and lead singer, but I can't find anyone worse at both than me who would be willing to play in a band that will
never ever get hired.

I play guitar and harmonica, and congas/drums (not a drum set) a bit. Just started learning guitar last May. Sometimes I sound good on
harmonica...sometimes not so much I have a whole chest of percussion
instruments from many different places/countries for jam sessions.

How many radios do you have? What style of radio do you play. Did you take lessons or are you self taught?

Blues bassist here (and rock, of course). Used to wail on the guit-fiddle but too old, arthritic and FAT to hit the li'l strings any more. Bass is a
new-found love.
I don't have a BUCKET LIST, but I do have a F***- IT LIST a mile long!

Al, how fun. I didn't know you play.
How 'bout a banjo backpack for stringing it along on your rides? I'll help you create a tailor-made if you like. Just let me know.

I have played guitar and sung most of my adult life but since retirement, I have really been able to focus on development. We have a group that
consists of me, Darlene Humphrey (guitar and vocals) from Alberta, Canada, Bill Hammell (12 string guitar and vocals) that was a boat mechanic for a
long time in San Lucas but has now moved over to Asuncion, and our newest addition who is Pepe who was hired to teach guitar and music to the local
people as part of a Government Cultural Development program. Pepe is one of the hottest lead guitar players I have had a chance to play with in a
long time.
We play every Sunday at the Bahia Restaurant in San Lucas Cove and most Fridays at Los Chibatos restaurant at Punta Chivato. It really helps the
restaurants and brings in a good crowd when we play. We are trying to set a date for another restaurant, but will announce more when that one comes
together.
We also have a great bass player who we hope will play with us on Sundays as he added a lot to the group before he had to leave and go north.

My music career began when I was just a kid. I recorded two albums with Sundance in the early 70s, then went on tour with country star legend Rose
Maddox. After that I played in several bands through the years. In 2003, I joined the band RDG. We won instrumental album of the year and performed
live on NBC at the Los Angeles Music Awards. Later, we shared the stage with Blue Oyster Cult, Joe Satriani, Gary Hoey, George Lynch, Jefferson
Starship and many more. Now I am basically a hired gun. I just do session work and fill in gigs. I am planning on bringing a bass rig, guitar rig and
a small drum kit to my house in BOLA for some occasional jam sessions.
