Calling All Musicians!

[PastorsDayOff]

As I was sat in this morning, on my pastors day off, waiting for the drizzle to pass in order to go over to the boat, I decided to pass the time the only way I know, playing me bass guitar to some loud and banging tunes from the stereo.

It was whilst doing this that I had a bit of an insane idea, that will probably get me kicked off the forum, but nothing ventured nothing gained, to ask how many other musicians we have, and if anyone has ever had the thought to create an NBN forum band, that we can use for meet ups or on other social occasions?

As well as playing the bass I also play guitars and drums (I was never popular with my neighbours), and Mrs PastorsDayOff is also a half decent bassist. I’m sure we must have some other musicians and some half decent singers on a forum this size.

Lovely idea, but would it be practical? Bringing a diverse group to a common location and time will be no easy task but in that I wish you well.

I can sing beautifully, I have the voice of an angel......

I play drums. Not brilliantly but I enjoy it. Problem is I don't drive so might have problems lugging my kit on the train! 

I do know an excellent keyboard player and singer too.............

I'll not serenade you anymore with talk like that.

I always wanted to be a pornographer, but I couldn't play the pornograph.

Are you thinking of something like this??

There is always skype for rehersals - keeping with my trendy (not) East  London cycle pillock theme I can play the Ukulele a bit!

Is there nobody that's good on the fiddle then?

Lester Piggot and Ken Dodd but they're both dead now

I enjoy a good fiddle, mainly with the g-string

[PastorsDayOff]

It was a rather tongue in cheek post, but I’m up for it. Of course it’ll be easier for those more local to this area. But actually, some of the best fun that can be had with music is for those who can play and sing simply to turn up and jam together with whatever music we have available.

But, as a pastor by trade, I do have access to a hall with keyboard and drums on site, and a sound system to plug anything else into. 

It can be done!

[Vaughan]

Well, I used to be a dab hand on the washboard and we have Maurice Mynah for a steel band backing on the Bio diesel drums. Grendel can always give us "Chestnuts roasting on an open fire", so who else have we got?

Not sure we ought to involve Broad Ambition in this - that might mean actions rather than words!

As we will be on the beach at Salhouse, there's always Dwyle Flonking of course. . . .

I really didn’t think it would take this long for someone to say that they could play the triangle. I thought this be one of the first responses I would get. Well done Lulu!

[Lulu]

It was either the triangle or tamborine lol

[Guest]

I can play the maracas.

I like playing with maracas 

[Maxwellian]

I can play the fool!

[grendel]

I did used to play African Drum for a Morris side (the loose women), I was a member of the loose knit band.

See; we have some real talent here. Not sure we will ever get a recording contract, or whether people might pay us (not to play), but real talent nonetheless!
