Also play acoustic/electric bass. Know some tunes on piano accordion. After about 35 years of trying, I can play some reasonably sounding tunes on pedal steel guitar. As Zachary Hoyt said (thanks for the mention Zach), I and a friend build violins and I started to learn to play them about 12 years ago. Can play slow tunes, but doubt I will ever be a fiddler on fast tunes. As John T. said "started too late in life". :) Can play some slow tunes on mandolin. Own a dobro but haven't really tried to learn to play it. Play in a 6 piece music group that entertains in nursing homes, churches and a few other places. Our group has 2 fiddles, banjo, guitar, electric/acoustic bass, and harmonica. I posted a video of "Silent Night" on pedal steel guitar a few years ago, but have no idea of how to find it now. (sigh) Currently am repairing a piano accordion - wow what a job!! (see photo) I own at least one of each instrument mentioned. To keep this tractor related, I will mention that I do tractor electrical repair for friends and contribute to questions here occasionally. [Reply]  [No Email]

Got accepted to the McDonalds All American band to march in the Mace"s Thanksgiving day Parade. Problem was practice was in New York during haying season and dad needed me to help. You also had to pay your way to NY. Wish I would have went now. Played in a country band for 5 years in the 80"s. When they got to playing 3 nights a week I left the band. I would love to play a couple of times a month but every band wants to play more. I have played a few sets with a couple of bands the last few years. Drums are very hard to carry a tune on by yourself. Gary [Reply]  [No Email]

Big brother there in the pic is 15 1/2 years older than me, and started to teach me as soon as he could get me to sit still. He is way more devoted to music than myself, and takes in some bluegrass festivals in states PA and WI each year. We had a jam last week, and take turns with the fiddle and guitar, and sometimes mandolin. Great fun for us, and made a bond between oldest and youngest in a faimly of 5 that just isn't there with the rest. Big bro is now 66, and goes out to play 2-3 times a week for seniors and the like,just for fun. Bruce [Reply]  [No Email]

I did with the guitar a year ago and now I play gospel bluegrass every Sunday morning at my church with a few other people (banjo, dobro, fiddle, and another guitar) and am having a blast, you won't regret it!

Got a dobro in the spring and have been having all kinds of fun with that, but still have a long way to go. I have an accordion that I mess around with but I never learned to do more than play the melody and push the chord buttons, maybe someday. I build banjos and fiddles in my free time, and have built one mandolin but have not learned to lay it. 55 50 Ron builds really nice violins, he is on this site fairly often. Zach [Reply]  [No Email]
