Play an instrument?

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

I think we need to form a band, so we can play a benefit concert for David Wright's game.

We'll get together, say, prior to the Sept. 9 game against the Dodgers.

I got trombone and backup vocals.

[seawolf17]

Didn't we do this once? I sang lead and played a little keys and a little guitar in a rock band in high school.

[Guest Yancy Street Gang]

I used to play the drum pad.

[Willets Point]

Voice.

[MFS62]

Instrument - yes.
Band instrument, no. Used to play the cello. Its a bitch to play if you're marching.

I'm the roadie. Let me check this cable connection and show you all my crack.

There comes a time when we heed a certain call.

OK, the Kranepools:

Willets Pt. -- vocals
Dickshot -- trombone
YSG -- drums
Wolf -- guitars, keys
MFS -- cello

We still need a bass player, some chick backup singers and another guitarist, maybe a tambourine shaker.

Come on: This is for David Wright.

I'll play the Bodhr�n for ye.

[Centerfield]

Can I be the shady record company exec that steals the group's money?

Drum pad.

I didn't stick with it long enough to graduate to an actual drum.

[Guest Johnny Dickshot]

Details.

Impulse 2 plays the clarinet, but she has plans 9/9.

[Frayed Knot]

Dan Bern's gotta whole buncha guys for you


And somewhere in the distance, an orchestra shows its face
With Natalie on the oboe, Ty on double bass
John plays the viola, Slik the tenor sax
James he blows harmonica in vanilla skin-tight slacks
Hugo oozes alto sax, Ivory the trombone
Masuda squawks the trumpet, Andre xylophone
Ron he shreds the violin. in a green Italian suit
Mike talks on the telephone on a tape with an endless loop
Geoff he blows the clarinet with an old-time rockin' feel
Charlie dings the triangle, Dave the glockenspiel
Chris puffs on the tuba, H a big bass drum
Alfonso throbs the cello like he would a woman, with his thumb
And high up on the podium in tails with his baton poised
Banksy leads the orchestra in a glorious, awful noise
And on a float of dripping oil paint the orchestra, it played
Kissing the whole universe in the Thanksgiving Day Parade

-- Thanksgiving Day Parade

[Guest Iubitul]

My oldest plays the drums in the state concert band...

[MFS62]

I thought about it some more.
If the Beatles (Yesterday), Electric Light Orchestra and the Eurythmics used celli in rock/pop music, count me in.
Now I've just got to figure out where my cello went. My parents got rid of it over 40 years ago.

I can add some twangy 12-string, but if somebody's bringing a bodhran my bouzouki might be more appropriate.

[metirish]

Matt Kinter wants in.

[Methead]

I haven't played trombone in a while, but given how much I used to play, it should be easy to get back up to speed. Like riding a bike.

You want to battle for the position, Dickshot, or just take second chair right now?

[metirish]

WOW, Battle trombone is on...have at it guys.

[Guest ScarletKnight41]

May I play tamborine?
