We will start this exercise with the full admission that I am not a musician, nor do I believe I will ever become a true musician, able to perform in public for hordes of screaming fans. That's not what music is for me.
I own a '57 reissue Fender Stratocaster in the same red color that Gilmour fans will recognize. I also have a very cheap Ibanez bass that needs to see a luthier. Sal gave me a classical guitar she had reconditioned. Kieran is the name of my blue acoustic guitar... I'm sorry to say I can never remember his brand or model... I just know that I walked into the shop and he spoke to me and told me I was taking him home, even though he was being test-played by some kid. I also have two cheap plastic recorders. Safely in the closet is a bodhran made by Roundstone in Ireland. I had my Mystic Phoenix symbol painted on it, and I must say it's very pretty, even if I don't play it much. Here is the photo gallery of my primary instruments.
I also sing, whistle (my best instrument), and I write filks. For those not in the know, a filk is a song that takes an existing tune and writes new lyrics. Technically, one could say that Weird Al is the most famous filker on the planet. When I get my thoughts together and finish my latest filk, I'll start posting the lyrics here for you to enjoy. I may even post the chords for the original songs as well if anyone wants to perform them.
