Played guitar in a basement band in high school. Lots of 70's and 80's cover stuff. Played a few local clubs back in the day.

Performed on stage for decades in various Big Bands and symphonic bands.

Ran a small ensemble doing community-promotion gigs for about ten years as well.

As the Covid Lockdown debacle paused all of that, I'd pivoted towards early music and folk. Currently woodshedding to bring myself up to public performance levels.

I play but nowhere near the level to be in a band. I just don't have
time to sit down and learn songs to the level and proficiency needed.

I think that depends on what you prioritize. If you really wanted to play some music and learn, you could re-allocate some time you'd normally spend on your BBS to doing music. So I'm not sure it's that you just don't have time.

I've made music as a hobby for years and was wondering if we have any other musicians here.

I like to play music, just causually as a hobby (not really good enough to be in a band). I often like to play guitar and keybaord/synthesizer.

An example of my work in the Rock genre can be heard here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAeCTpNgsHM

That's cool. :) I have some music recording software on my PC (Mixcraft), but I haven't really used it very much.

Yes, I know. I was just saying if you wanted to play music more, you could take some time away from your BBS to play music.

I started on the accordion in 1960, the organ in 1963. I wish I had learned the piano.
It would have helped me play the left hand, but the organ is a great alternative. It does
a lot of the work :)

Well, I am a music composer and arranger myself. I made some tracker music, which you can find on The ModArchive, aswell as SoundCloud and YouTube.

Genres range from electronic synthwave to rave/dance to chiptune. However I like to try out new things that stay on the melodic side.

Greetings. I am currently in 2 performing bands. One is a trio which primarily introduces the blues and performs older blues tunes. The other is a six piece that performs blues, blues-rock, and rockabilly. As a vocalist, I front both and play blues harp. I use a guitar when I practice.

Yeah I never played professionally or anything, or was even any good, but
many years ago my friends and I set up our instruments in my garage and
would play a bunch. Our drummer was FREAKING AMAZING. I'm talking Rush
level greatness. I would start playing some random guitar riff, and he'd
come in with the perfect drum line behind me ... holy shit. Not sure I
could describe that feeling. It's like I'm an anime character in some
exciting scene and vertical lines are flying up all around me.
