Here.
I try to do pop/alt country as that's all that's commercially viable since they killed rock and still includes guitar, bass n' drums.
I have a bad singing voice to my ears and while I can bribe women with money to do vocal session work, I have a logjam of male oriented songs written because no matter how I try I can't get em to come sing my tunes. ego ego ego I suppose.
Old stuff up here.

Ron you are awesome! I would definitely check out the "old stuff".

I know a lot of coders who play instruments of one variety or another. There does seem to be quite an overlap there. Off the top of my head, I can think of a dozen or so people here who play guitar, for instance.

That's good to hear that. I would love to know them.

Indeed. I always thought it was compulsory to at least be able to bash out a three chorder on the guitar. If you didn't have at least that on your CV you could kiss your career goodbye! 
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

Look at you, Mr Lord High Almighty Better Than Quo With Your Four Chords!

I cannot think of any song where Quo only played 3 chords. They pretty much always play 6 chords. In some songs, they even get up to 8. That's a shout out to people who know that they played the 5th and 7th chords.

If you know chords like A-C-D-C, you'd be fine

Nah, I never learned guitar... I'm a trumpeter. Way out of practice, though.
|

Trumpet is a nice instrument. What did you play before? reggae? 
|
|
|
|
|
Nah... Big band, marching band, jazz... Jazz is the most fun, but I never could figure out how to improv.
|
|
|
|
|
That's nice! Jazz is cool. It's just hard to play it with guitar. I just can't play it. I'm into blues
|

Really? I'm way out of practice on the cornet, too. It's been years since I played one, even though I did and do love it.
We should start a band: Tarnished Brass
I wanna be a eunuchs developer! Pass me a bread knife!

Brass? Pfft... Mine's silver (plated)... Really needs a shine and some dents smoothed out...

Years ago, I worked with a guy who admitted that, in his spare time, he made Raga. I was deeply impressed with his mastery of what is, let's face it, a deceptively complicated musical form, until it was pointed out that he had a speech impediment and what he was saying was that he made lager.

I beg to differ. Many devs I work with are musicians. As am I.

You're lucky to have worked with them. In our whole dev team, only 4 can.

How large is your team? Four's enough for a band.
