Oh the tuning when *I* played was _perfect_. Perfect pitch. I
tune OTHER ppls guitars if I hear they're off. Naw, for me it
was was the callouses. My senior year I hadn't messed with the
guitar in a few years and spent MOST of that month developing
the callouses. But I always tuned that guitar before I sat in
the hallway and played. == I'm terrible at playing in bands.
[not talking school band - that's easy] - three times I gave in
and joined bands. Didn't want to. Always keyboard/piano. I'd do
it for a few months, make an excuse and get out of it. The worst
was "the magnificant 7". Dumb name. 1990-91. All original
hippie-ish music. They dragged me to the other colleges and to
bars and coffeehouses. Hated it but my friend REALLY wanted me
in it. Wiggled my way out eventually. == The stuff I've done is
less polished and mostly just weird. I musically ramble and
never complete a musical idea generally - just keeps going... or
it'll be little scraps of ideas here and there. ==
