So what do you do.............

[Shadowcaster]

............. when your not flight simming. On my better days I have taken up playing guitars again after 6-7 years of letting them gather dust in the spare room. There's a couple of recording here I did back then hope you enjoy them.

P.S.

Play golf in the morning,

Drink beer in the afternoon.

I'll hit the gitbox every now and then - not as much as when I was a kid.

My house is bursting with all sorts of musical instruments!.... ....!

Guitars, Strings, Keyboards, Woodwind, Brass, Percusson, etc.
All played by me alone!
I have 13 different keyboards alone, comprising various Programmable Synthesizers, Home Keyboards, Digital Pianos, and Hammond B3 Organ with Leslie 360 Rotary Speaker Cabinet...and various Renaissance musical instruments.

Two keyboards in front of me at this very moment, in my living room, Synthesizer and Organ, ready to play in an instant....
....three Electric and Classical Guitars....and a nice little Tenor Ukulele!

Playing instruments is a wonderfully relaxing pastime.!

Out of all my enormous family, I am the only one who plays musical instruments....

...all the rest watch television and poke their iPhones/iPads with their fingers...

Every time I go into someone's house, the first thing I always look for is....a Piano.... ....
...the days of a Piano in everyone's Front Room are long, long gone!.... ...!

I like all my musical instruments.....all learned, and played by ear!

....82 years of collecting...Stuff!.... ...!

Paul...You hum it...I'll play it!.... ....!

Nice tracks ShadowCaster, they sound very professional.

Music has been big in my life. Big bro was always playing his guitar when we were kids. He's now a professional. Music was always playing, and it still is.

Hi,

well flight simming is my job so I tend to do a lot of it. for relaxation I like to play the guitar and keyboards, like Fozzer I come from a background where music was what we did for fun before TV et al pushed it out of the way. Yes I remember the days when there was a Piano in everybodies front room - great fun.

One of the good things about living in China (and there are quite a lot of good things) is that everyone is musical, it seems inbuilt, and it can be great fun.

Used to play golf until arthritis made it near impossible.

Nice playing. I have had dozens of keyboards in the past, but the */8 key always seemed to get worn out.

[expat]

I can play the "Hornpipe" on a wooden spoon........

Thanks guys, I stopped playing when M.E. started to get worse . Now I think it's better to put up with pain, and hope that the playing will get better as I retrain the old arthritic fingers.

This is what I do when I am not flyin' around! Rock on Fozzer with your Hammond organ! !

Boats, cars, motorcycles, water skiing and wakeboarding and women usually keep me occupied or something needing fixing usually in the garage. Also on a musical note played the violin and the piano accordion badly.

Nowadays, I mostly avoid doing anything which requires any form of manual dexterity, or brain-power.

A nice, lay-down, horizontally, on my comfy Settee, and a snooze, following a tasty meal, is about as far as I go when it comes to "doing things"...

...trust me... ....!

Paul..... ....!

...wake me up at Tea-Time... ...!
