If you could pick any instrument to play (or you already play) what would it be? And who/what was your inspiration?
I used to play the cello in grade school. But due to riding the bus I got picked on because I had to bring it home, and carry on the bus. Eventually I settled for the violin instead, and though I find the violin a beautiful instrument (especially now with Lindsey Stirling out there) I still regret settling for such a dumb reason.
I play the piano first, but plan to pick up the cello again soon. What's yours?

Banjo. I got tired of not playing an instrument so I got a Deering Goodtime and started working on my picking and licks.

Trumpet/cornet/flugelhorn: Chet Baker, Miles Davis.
Took piano lessons as a child (practically at gunpoint...).
Currently play the guitar (with harmonica). Also play the didgeridoo (good for the lungs and OOBE's).Like (2)

AWESOME! I always wanted to play the harmonica if I ever went to prison. Never made it though... yet. Miles Davis good stuff. And I would attempt at a didgeridoo just due to the name didgeridoo. I think that name is highly under-rated... :-)

I had a similiar experience in grade school/jr. high..every band dork gets picked on, the only difference is that I threatened to shove my instrument up their *****. I played the trumpet and the french horn. I want to learn how to play the guitar just so I can play 'Maggot Brain' by Funkadelic..it's on my bucket list. That's my inspiration: Funkadelic (George Clinton), Stevie Ray Vaughn, and Eric Clapton. :)

Question: "How do you play a french horn?" Answer: "Just stick your hand in the bell and play a bunch of wrong notes...."

I have been trying at the guitar for years but I can never get it down. Any country star out there is what inspires me to learn

it came easily to me until I was given direction, then I was all rebellion... I don't like authority figures it turns out when it comes to art of expression. Well, unless they're attractive haha.

Cello is beautiful. I would probably pick guitar, since I am a songwriter, and use the piano for that. I could become more versatile if I could use the guitar too. my fingers are a bit too "thick" i think.

Love to learn to play the guitar ... The Eagles music (Glenn Frey in particular) is the inspiration.
