I LOVE to sing. Mostly country but I can pull off a Stevie Nicks song now and then too. I used to LOVE going to Karoake bars. I actually had people come up and make requests for certain songs. As far as I was concerned I was in concert for those few minutes. Absolutely love it. My father and I had a band when I was 16. We even cut a record. Then like a dumbass, I got married at 17 and my husband didn't want me singing in bars anymore. Damn him!
Do you have any musical talent?

I've replied to question like this before, but I'll do it again.
I play the alto saxophone mostly. I played a lot in high school. And I was part of a JW band when I was in and when I lived with parents. We played mostly R&B and blues oldies at weddings and anniversaries and a few general 'gatherings'. After not playing much while going through college, I started taking lessons recently learning jazz which has always been my favorite genre of music. My teacher plays with a professional swing band. They play mostly at dances around the area. But they have started doing a few jazz gigs where dancing isn't so much emphasized and I was allowed to sit in on one song recently, so that was really cool. I may build up the nerve to go some of the jazz jam sessions some day.
I also play around with the piano some. I bought a digital piano in the past month, but that's mostly for my own enjoyment. I might eventually get into playing the saxophone more publicly, but don't really have those aspirations for the piano.

I sang with a barbershop chorus for 4 years. I sing with my church choir currently. Voice is my instrument. I used to play guitar when I was a kid.

I played violin for several years, but haven't touched it since I was pretty young. Mom plays piano really well. I love to sing, and can carry a tune, but don't think I am any good at it.
All my kids played piano for awhile, but none stayed with it. Princess played violin for a few years, and was really good.

I sing...and sing...and sing. I'm not in a band. My singing would be more along the Broadway musical type. I would love to sing in a band. It's a dream of mine.

arrowstar---------- the best way I can think of to get involved in a band is to go to the local music store. Most have a bulletin board where you can put a card describing the kind of music you like and a phone #.

I played the accordion for several years but had to give it up because I was getting pleats on my stomach.
