To pick up chicks. It never occured to me that when your songs have titles like "Cheese Beaver" and "Pussy and Tits" that isn't likely to happen.

I know we have a ton of musicians on the board and just curious as to what inspired everyone to pick up their instrument? For me, it was Dave Matthews solo performance of 'The Stone' on Charlie Rose. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lBpq0BWQP3E Crazy guitar playing and I wanted to be able to do that. |

I didn't know that Dan played? Any mp3s out there? Let's see...I was 11. So, it probably had to do more with Hit Parader, Circus, and "looking cool" than actual music...and then I got my hands on the Master of Puppets cassette tape. |

I forgot my music so I had to play from memory. I did, did it really well and then my music teacher had a stroke in the front row. |

I finished up, there was applause and then a *GASP* from the audience. I turned around and my teacher was unconscious on the floor. |

Nobody forced me into anything. My Dad plays guitar, bass, and little bit of piano. In 8th grade I asked him to show me a few things on the bass and that was that. |

I remember the light glowing from Mrs. Carples' window. And I remember the darkness falling as I sat out there on the street looking in. And now... more than twenty years later... I still remember every note of the music that wandered out into the still night air. The only thing is... I can't remember how to play it anymore.

In order to break apart, we had to hurt each other. And now... we'd done what we had to do. And the thing is, even today... on nights when I lie in bed, listening to my children in their rooms, breathing next to one another... I wish for them what my parents had wished for my brother and me. I wish for them... what we had.

My friend Eric played drums in a band. I learned a little from him and got my own cheap set....a combo of a used Tama and Premier with Paiste cymbals....still have pretty much the same set. |
