LOL...Coordination/motivation problems caused me to abandon guitar lessons at age 9. I was into the "gross motor" thing then.

But now, that I'm a bit older, maybe I'll buy a ukulele one day!

I tried to learn how to play guitar once, but I was frustrated by the fingering and how short the distance was between strings, so I told everybody I was going to take up the bass instead. Well, four years later, and I still haven't bought a bass. At this point, if I do anything with music, it's more likely going to involve being a producer, rather than being a performer. I've thought a lot about starting a punk band though, just because I like the idea of going nuts on stage and not playing with any sort of talent.

I play the mandolin (my hands feel too small for guitar) but the uke just looks like it is a very easy instrument to pick up. I might give it a go.

I want to try the bass but I want to play the upright bass, which is kind of a monster to move.

I enjoyed playing recorder in school. I have thought of picking that up again.

I am finally feeling better, but still want some hot tea.



I kind want some music that swings...

Benny Goodman fills the bill!

I wish I could do the Jitterbug! It's such a cool dance!

Benny is ok, but Glenn is my fave.

All right...then Glenn Miller, then!

well Looks like I only need to stand aside, drink something and watch the fun
The bar already seems to have some dj... so if anyone needs me just ask for some drinks or cookies :3

I like talking to you, too, Catrin---Doubly so!

ow you wanna be... nice :p...
I'm going in the imaginary kitchen now lol

I can't wait for the results of your culinary labors!

Ever had Swiss Fondue?

you wouldn't want to, believe me !

I never heard about it before, it looks like melted cheese o.0. Have you tried it?

New here. Hey. You know Levi from Attack on Titan? We have similar personalities. I like dark stuff.
I'll just sit here and watch.

*Pulls bar stool, takes out bag of dortitos, an bottle of wine, dip and puts earphones in listening to spotify 90s hip hop party mix (This is pretty much what I'm doing, right now)*

Catrin----yep, it's pretty much melted cheese.

Makeba: are you familiar with Miriam Makeba?

Truthfully, I'd rather listen to swing than hip hop (though some hip hop is really pretty darn good).

@kraftiekortie Aye, I am. although not heard enough of her music as much as I would like. Do you like electro swing?

Miriam Makeba had a big hit in the US, "Pata Pata," in 1967. It was played for at least 2-3 years afterwards consistently--to the point where this song is one of my childhood memories.

I've never listened to "electro-swing."

LOL....Seems like you speak with a wee bit of a Scottish burr/brogue.
