I was into music when younger, I could do a little noise with the keyboard, my greatest surprice to what music is concerned came to me while in the military when one day I was talking to a friend about music and he pulled out his loptop and let me listen to several pieces of music he had put together using a program called remix which he had bought in Hong Kong three years earlier, I could not believe my ears, that guy's music sounded amazing, I got so surpriced that as soon as we pulled in the next country I went out and bought me a copy of the program myself and years later switched to another more amazing music making program called Ableton Live, I don't know how musicians feel about music making programs, but in my opinion, programs like Ableton Live are the best contribution to music in a very long time

with this thing and a little imagination I can sound like the best musician "out there", and even better than many of them sometimes!

Anyone here belong to a rock band in high school? I did. I was the drummer for a band we called (wait for it....) The Acid Searchers. The irony was that we were all jocks (football players) who attended a very small Catholic high school in suburban Detroit. And, oh yeah, as far as the music, we sucked! There were actually eight (8) of us in the band: the four biggest guys on the team were our front men, a la the Temptations or Four Tops, none of whom could sing or dance. These musically and rythmically challenged rather large dudes (one actually wore a poncho onstage) were backed by two guitars that were better off unplugged, a base bass ("What's a fretboard?"), and yours truly on drums (I could actually get by, only because my dad played professionally). It was kind of like Motown meets (eats?) Humble Pie. We played a sock hop in the gym and the screaming (sympathetic?) girls who crowded the stage drowned out our poor play. It was great!!! Any other high school rockers here?
