(37,573 posts)and it is kinda easy, at least for me. I've been in a number of church choirs.
I've even written a few songs, mostly parodies. I don't write the tunes. But I think my lyrics to the "Incredible Hulk" theme song are kinda cool.
I play trumpet for charity. Lots of people tell me they enjoy that, and I think it raises a little bit more money for the charity. Play in some tough conditions too. Once I started a set, got about halfway through my first song - and my valves froze.
My favorite time was when this little boy, maybe two years old was standing there with his dad and older brother and I played "Santa Claus is coming to town" and that kid was just marching away, and maybe singing along too. It was really cute. Makes me smile to remember it.
Not that you care.
Also, on Tuesday I will be playing pianoforte at the club meeting, even accompaning their singing. But I am way out of practice there and playing easy stuff anyway. Just not motivated to practice much any more.
But my baby sister had more years of lessons than I did, and she does not play at all any more.
