I play guitar, bass, trumpet, some drums, and some piano.

Im not very good at drums or piano but I play guitar and occasionally bass in a band that I put together, and trumpet in the school jazz band which is pretty hard to get into.

I'm not sure if music has helped my magic or vice versa, but the point about practicing I have to agree with.

I play drums and tuned percussion and once studied violin for about 5 years as a child.

I think drumming certainly helps with general dexterity and co-ordination!

I sing (have had opera lessons) and used to play guitar, but now I play ukulele which I prefer.

Don't worry, he's digging his own grave. Something which I can't wait to see him in.

For some one so versed in SPYCOLOGY, as this illiterate Johnny Foreigner refers to it, he certainly doesn't apply it in creating a persona that you wuld trust and buy something from.

I fear the only instrument Karl plays is the pink oboe. Which is no doubt in his hand ready for another one-handed symphony as he read my posts.

I was beginning to wonder what had happened to Michael Kras...

Has he been banished for flooding the boards with pointless posts or is he just away on holiday?
