Do you play any...?

When I was a child, my mom took us to watch this guy named Van Cliburn.   Needless to say, I was hooked.  I believe I was 5 years old.  From there I dove into my parents and grandparents vinyl and found a record from Clyde McCoy, "Sugar Blues".  Wow, such diversity in sounds.  Took piano for 5 years, and in my humble opinion, I am not good at all and basically suck.  There was a guy at college that wanted to learn to play piano and asked that I show him what I knew.  Two weeks later he asked me to listen to him and he had far surpassed my ability.  I believe you either have it or you don't.  However, that doesn't diminish my love of music.  Ability and love are 2 different things.  I have found I have a great ear, there is just some disconnect in the brain in any attempt to reproduce or create music. 

I play the Radio, but not well

Trumpet, guitar, percussion and trombone. Grandfather played clarinet in Tommy Dorsey and Dina Shores bands in the 40’s then as Grandma said along came a war. 
 

I guess this is now the authorized "What Musical Instrument(s) Do You Play" thread.

Here goes --

Steel string acoustic guitar. Definitely the instrument where I got chops. I have several axes. All good quality. I'm a finger-picking fool... A pretty fair Bluegrass flat picker, as well.

Electric guitar. Fifteen years ago I'd be screaming out Clapton licks. I also did my share of boing-de-boing Rockabilly and angry Punk Rock down-stroking..

Violin/Fiddle. Three of them. I work like crazy on the beasts. Am I beginning to get good? Some say yes. Some say no.

Piano. A lovely old Mason-Hamlin upright in a room off the garage. I was a pretty good rock/jazz/classical player until the fiddle entered my universe and led me astray.

My Dad had a Hammond C3 with Leslie. I took lessons in grammar school and got to a rudimentary William Tell Overture (Lone Ranger theme).

Then gave up. I was just not able to keep playing after I hit a wrong note.
