    Piano for 11 years, trumpet, learning the guitar

    And yes, I'm permanently listening to music.

    I just noticed...we've got a fair few trumpeters here

    Only if it squeaks in tune to the porno soundtrack

    I'm trying to teach myself guitar, not doing too badly although I'm much more at home twanging along on the bass line (don't have a bass guitar to play though )

    I prefer women obviously, but the occasional man will require poking. It's a dirty job but somebody's got to do it

    LOL @ skin flute Never had the pleasure. Usually play the hairy pie...

    I DJ'd from 1992 to 2000, playing hand in the air rave stuff in the early 90s, then moved onto house in the late 90s. Got into it by playing at parties, then bars. Biggest place I played in was Euphoria in Acton (full of Aussies, Kiwis and Yarpis) - bout 500 people, and did that for a year. I had to seriously consider wether to carry on DJing, or take a job I had been offered as a junior VBA programmer in a bank in 1996. I took the VBA job

    I don't play in a regular place now, cos the substances associated kinda mess me up a bit, but I've played twice this year allready - mostly funk, electo-jazz, bit of big beat....

    used to play the Keyboard as a teenager, got to a certain level then couldn't get any further. More than likely because I am completley tone death and have absolutley no natural rythem
