Jazzyjack,

Welcome. You're right, this has been discussed before but alot can change in a short time, so...

I play traditional, roots, folk, blues, singer-songwriter stuff, some classical, hymn tunes, and when the spirit strikes, a bit of loud jam style rock music.

I use: Beneteau 6 string acoustic guitar, Beneteau 12 string acoustic guitar, Beneteau 6 string baritone acoustic guitar, Moon celtic style mandolin, cheap Washburn mandolin, Washburn 5 string banjo, Telecaster electric guitar, cheap uke, Harmony Sovereign flat top lap guitar, home made steel guitar, home made bass guitar, headless bass guitar, 5 string Ernie Ball electric bass guitar, Harmony archtop guitar, plywood double bass, old German fiddle, autoharp, various harmonicas, pennywhistles, Yamaha keyboard, La Patrie classical guitar, various hand drums, several guitars in various states of decay or repair, lots of shakers, spoons, tambourine, melodica, voice.

I will sometimes accept donations of beater instruments which I can repair and make available for sale or permanent loan to more needy students.

I play in southern Ontario Canada with a casual celtoidish group named Kerrykeel, a fiddle/guitar duo named Guiddle M'Jig, a singer-songwriter duo named The Preachers' Sons, and I hire out as a mercenary musician for hire when I'm not instructing music (about 25 hours per week) or working a part-time grunt job for the local public school board (thank goodness for its benefit plan!). Have also played in rock cover bands, reception music bands, dance outfits, and a Neil Young tribute band. I sing bass in the local Anglican church choir.

So much music, so little time.

Peace, Mooh.
