MUSIC CENTRAL!!!

I love music! When I was a kid, I played piano, but I wasn't real good at it. I took up guitar and liked it but then decided I'd also like to try bass guitar. I fell in love! I learned how to play and I can play pretty well. I had 3 different bands ask me to play in their bands, but I either didn't like their band or didn't like the music they played. One had a terrible singer and I just couldn't play in a band where I couldn't stand to hear the singer, one was a country band and they played that whiney, twangy stuff I don't like, the 3rd we were actually working on getting an all gal band together but couldn't find a drummer, male or female. Then when I moved to Illinois it seemed I never got time to practice and ended up selling it. I miss my bass, a lot!

Thanks Mindy. I always LOVED the bass and wished I had learned to play that instrument. To me, it went hand in hand with the drumming for the rhythm/backbone of my style of preferred music to play. My good friend in high school played bass and we were always locked in together performing... just looking and smiling at each other during concerts.

I sold my drums. ONCE. I swore I would never do it again, and I won't - even if I am starving! I was living in Houston at the time, and got very ill and had to get the hell out of dodge in a hurry. (I actually bought the same exact set then later - from the same guy, who owned a music store around here and was a longtime friend of mine.)

I play a "little" keyboard, but wished I played much better and more often.

Ever think about getting another bass guitar?

P.S. Almost bought a stand-up bass once - LOVE THAT in music!!!

I really fell in love with Chrissie's voice and energy/style...

There was another hit song on this album when it first came out, but this one really touched my sensitive side - and eventually became a hit and video too! YAY!!

I LOVE PRETTY rock chords together too!

Another older song of hers/The Pretenders that I really like:

*Another trivia question: What other band played this second song here WAY back - like maybe from the 60's?

I just LOVE YA! (And had a "mini-crush" as a kid... or ID'd with ya somehow - or was simply super proud!? It does not even matter.)

This video I like and the song too, the lyrics are highly odd though but the main reason I like the song is the beat to it, I am more of a country music fan but do listen to rock, hard rock and some metal, indie rap like ICP and Tech n9ne.
