Bass guitar and the French Horn were the only two instruments I managed to master.I have a couple of cheap ones. I love music and have tons of instruments I got for dirt cheap (garage sales mostly) or inherited, some are more for decoration than others. I actually was wanting to learn how to play violin to some extent but the way things have been going I haven't had any free time to do much of anything.
I practice my bass guitar whenever I can though, I'd play it all day long if I had my way. It's about the only hobby that makes me happy anymore.
My brothers band had a gig at a bar in Key west in the 70's & the Bass player got hammered early so I was asked to fill in - my entire memory of the night (through a beer/coke haze) was laying down a thumping line for Free Bird. Twas an awesome experience!
As for the horn I still love it's sound over any other brass.
It's sound is haunting to me.
