Warrior Troubadour?

[TNVolunteer]

I don't know that being Bon Vivant can be complete without good music or a song in your heart. Just my opinion. Any WT tribe members out there that are musicians? What is your favorite concert experience? What is your favorite instrument?

Music is like good food and drink to me. I play guitar a bit, enough to have some fun at home. Currently sporting a Takamine acoustic electric and a Les Paul. Used to have a nice Gretsch hollow body that I still kick myself for getting rid of.

One of my favorite concerts was when I was an exchange student back in the day. Somebody at my school came up and gave me tickets to Nelson! I didn't even like them at the time but it was a surreal experience being packed into a small venue, listening to a hair band, and being one of the only people in the place that could understand the lyrics.

I've been to quite a few concerts ranging from Dropkick Murphy's and System of a Down to symphonies and operas. I also sing (almost pursued a career in opera, no joke), play trumpet (jazz and classical), and guitar.

My musical tastes are really wide and varied, but I don't go a single day without listening to music in some form or another.

I don't play any instruments (would love to learn the piano, bagpipes, and guitar), but I've been a Mass choir singer for 11 years and a karaoke singer for 19 years. Regading the latter, I won 1st Prize on a karaoke contest for the Elvis rendition of "See See Rider" and 3rd Prize (not once, but twice) for Sir Mixx-a-Lot's "Baby Got Back."

Also, before I left the PRK, I would regularly sing Irish warrior ballads like "The Minstrel Boy" at my local British pub in San Pedro, the Whale & Ale:



As far as concerts, my faves were the Rolling Stones in '99, Kid Rock in 2004, and a "Salute to the Troops" country concert in 2003 that included Daryl Worley and Buddy Jewell (and a few other artists whose name escapes me at the moment).

I was in a rock band many years ago. I mostly played the trumpet but could switch off on bass, drums or organ for certain songs.
My true love is the guitar but REALLY suck at it. I haven't played much of anything in awhile tho.
I would say that my most memorable music experience was the first time I ever heard a symphony orchestra. OUTSTANDING! I can still listen to classical for hours.
I listen to just about every kind of music except rap crap.

Kudos to those who can play a musical instrument. The best that I can do is the radio.

You mean with a username like yours, you don't actually sing?

Why, thank you, kind sir! With that in mind, I hope everybody here will forgive me a moment of shameless self-promotion by asking y'all to go to my YouTube page and either "Like" and/or post comments on my video? (Rest assured, I'm not doing this for profit.) Thanks in advance!

I assume that you've seen "The Man Who Would Be King" with Sean Connery and Michael Caine? If not, put it on your must-do list.
