KNew a lot of guys played them back in the day. NOt a bad
learner instrument really.
Depending on the song I might play an electric part,
especially if it's foundation and doesn't have to stand out
in the mix. My main instrument is keyboards, then of
standard rhythm and combo instruments bass then drums, then
acoustic guitar. USed to play trumpet and trombone too but
my lip's way gone now, too much whiskey, too much road and
too many cigarettes.
