Well in my case not hardly..although I have played the guitar, mandolin, banjo and the violin(badly) in the past. even made drinkin money doing it but never had the time to pursue it. Grew up listening to Rock and Roll in the 50's cause that is what my mother listened to. Sadly good music is no more. Even country music (which was part of the basis of R&R) is pretty bad now days. Rap isn't really music(although there is some good poetry and rhyming in some) and most of the heavy metal seems to be mostly an exercise in making noise and putting on a bad show. Some of the milder metal has some good basic music enhanced by the abilities of the musicians who play it. Looking back I can say I didn't particularly care for the music he played..but I surely admired the way Hendrix did what he did. Didn't care much for her lifestyle but you just had to admit ol Janis Joplin knew how to make a fair song sound great!. What is it that seems to make some of the best musicians(and others) have a death wish or whatever it is? Neat question Wahnie. And by the way. Not trashing your music. Mostly we don't care for what we don't understand. I actually like a lot of classical music.but some is just not worth listening to for me! That IS where the basis for all music comes from though
