I play the drums and sing some back-ups in one of H-towns best bands, Inner Lights http://www.myspace.com/innerlightsband . We have a show tonite at Mango's, there ain't no-one who plays jams like us in Houston!!

Between 'hearing' (second hand knowledge I'm sure ) that mazyar can play the skin flute and this ^ post... I'm beginning to think finalsbound is just a front.
I'm a guitarist, vocalist, and amateur pianist.. As far as my main instrument, I like to alternate between the main two I enjoy the most.. the classical guitar and electric.. I mostly play a certain mix and range of classical/romantic, jazz and general "rock".. though I'm not much for the blues.. though I have no trouble playing it.. it seems to be a genre I enjoy listening to, and observing, more than performing myself..
Considering how physical you were with me when we played ball that one time, I'm thinking you might want to find out.
I am very bad at the guitar and even worse at singing but I have been known to forget both facts when drinking. The highlight of my musical career was waking up from a blackout to realize I was leading 2000 people in a sing-a-long of I Melt With You (also playing guitar with the band Bloodfart) at Numbers. I also placed third in the Folk category in the Public News Music Awards back in the early 90s though I never played a public gig. I own one beat up acoustic Yamaha that I bought for $100 in NYC in 1987 but it's on loan to a friend in Chicago.
