My Bands
Church Drummer, you've got the most incorrect member name of any of us! Guitar, drums, euphonium, piano, trombone, baritone horn--whoa, you're almost a one-man band right there!
Extremely versatile, man!
As anyone who's read any of my posts knows, I play bongos, congas, djembe, and most other hand percussion as well as set (still learning timbales so I can't include them just yet).
I play with our parish's guitar group (briefly known as "The God Squad" when it was first formed in 2002 but now called the Holy Family Guitar Ensemble). I have also played percussion with a folk duo called "Fydlstyx" (one half of whom co-hosted a talk show with me at the radio station where I work, WGNU); a pickup band at the radio station (bass, lead guitar and guess what?), called, not surprisingly, "The WGNU Garage Band" (which unraveled when my bandmates, all talk show hosts, went on to other careers!); a country group known as "The Casuals" (ironically, their set drummer dug playin' with a conga player, but his father--lead singer and guitarist--didn't like it, so that was short-lived); a two-guitar duo known as Acoustic Mayhem; and last but not least, guest appearances on percussion with the Stan Fornaszewski Band, an Illinois-based 18-piece big band.
(Now someone in the guitar group is after me to learn bass, so, I might catch up with Church Drummer in a few years !)
