Well, death metal isn't ALL I play

I have a 12 string acoustic I love to mess around with. I do alot of fingerpicking and acoustic ballads and such.

I've been playing flute for a few years, can get by on a piano, and am learning acoustic guitar. I currently suck beyond belief.    Thanks for the links, by the way!!!

Ahhh, you make me miss my baby.My 12-string acoustic....(sigh). What a beauty. And I'm very happy to know you play a wider variety of musical styles. It helps with creativity and broadens your musical world.

PJ, I look forward to those postings. But where did that name come from?

Funny that I love playing two songs that others here like to play. "Tears in Heaven" and "Classical Gas" are two of my old standards and I love them. I enjoy playing "Blackbird", "Canon in D", "Mrs. Robinson", and about every protest song ever written from the '60s and '70s. Really.

[pjkeeley]

But where did that name come from?

It's actually "Microdot", but at one point we were discussing how amusing it would be if we went onstage and pretended to be from Sweden and it just sort of stuck, hence the current ridiculous spelling and myriad omlauts. I think the official pronounciation is "Mee-crow-doot", but if we ever do perform I'm not sure we'd go with the whole prentending to be Swedish thing, since we are a pretentious lot and kind of want to be taken seriously. Other names have included "The Alfie Badger Musical Collective" and "K.I.T.E.S." which stood for "K.I.T.E.S. in the Endless Sky" -- we loved the idea of having an acronym within that very same acronym, creating a never-ending chain of acronyms. I guess we are just a little bit

hey McQ i also really love playing Mrs Robinson. and i play a lot of beatles songs, but Blackbird is too difficult for me right now.
and i love playing protest songs too. i play a lot of Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel.
i also like playing rock'n'roll songs by Buddy Holly and Chuck Berry.

Very clever. And very funny. I love it. I really love the acronym within an acronym idea too.

Nice. All good stuff. Blackbird can be tricky, but I learned it decades ago when I was more nimble-fingered and before my brain forgot how to learn!  
It's really a matter of being taught it by someone who knows it. Not as hard as you may think.

That's awesome. There's such a lack of creativity in band names. Try thinking about endless acronyms on mushrooms and you would probably go insane.

I would also classify my music as psychedelic. Too bad I don't have time to form a band. One day I will though. And we will rock.

I played violin for 5 years. And although I can't play the piano, I know which notes are which. Nowadays, I stick to singing mostly.
