Daily Entertainment.

Happy Monday, and Happy November! Or something.

What instruments do you play? What instrument does your pup play?

I play the flute, alto saxophone, and fiddle around with a psaltery and my brother's jazz bass. Sallie plays the piano, and I'm going to say that SARAH probably comes equipped with Casio keyboard sound effects. xD

I play violin and pennyflute (I CAN'T FIND IT! D:!) and sing. Voice totally counts as an instrument.

Byers plays piano, since Roger's been giving him lessons.

Canonically, Max plays the bongos, but I kind of also want to make him play guitar. >_>

Nick plays the flute.

Monk plays clarinet.

Frasier sings and plays piano.

YAY MY PUPS ARE SO MUSICAL ♥

I...used to play the piano. But I hated praticing and all the exams I took were based on seat-of-the-pants sight-reading.

I...don't think any of my pup's play any instruments. Maybe Kohl had a go at guitar when he was younger, but even him I don't think plays anything now.

It all strikes me as kind of weird.

I know the keys on the piano keyboard, the strings on a guitar and can interpret music. 'Playing' any of these instruments is a bit of a stretch.

Which, uh... extends to my pups 'cause I'm not imaginative *shamed*. Francesca can almost certainly play the pianoforte, but she doesn't choose to. Will has tried to learn on Davey Jones' organ (heheheh), but he lacks the conviction to put in 3 hours a day.

Karolina, I think, probably had piano lessons as a child.

I play the violin and sing... and I can play one real song on the piano? (Not piece, mind. Song.)

Dr. John Vattic plays the jazz trumpet, and Barney plays the bass guitar. I think I had Metis maybe playing an instrument at some point, but that's gone away.

That none of them at all plays any musical instrument. Even Kohl the phonomancer.

I guess he has a good understanding of music, but he's more a listener than a creator.

Maybe Guy of Gisborne has a sekrit hidden talent with the lute. And bashing people over the head with them

Ahahahahahaha oh my goodness yes.

Here, have my favorite singing!Frasier moment ever. (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FvAWUJCjgQE)

You probably can't watch it since you're at work, but WATCH IT LATER. You will lol so hard.

Learn a new thing! I can knit, now!

- actually, I have a guitar I guess I can say I'm not going to take up again. If you see someone ask for a guitar on their Christmas wishlist, let me know?

Maybe he is like... a really good dancer to make up for his lack of music playing talent. He could be in...a boyband.

Electric, I'm afraid. I have an amp, as well. No idea what the condition of either is.

Pssst: I actually have no idea how jazz really works, because I've been lazy and haven't studied jazz theory. So I'll just handwave it like a fiend if it ever comes to that. >.>

The first pants were possibly lycra based. The second pants were leather.

Both materials appropriate for the early stages of a boyband career. And he's not adverse to removing his shirt or wearing misguided costumes that make him look like a robot!

Incidentally? Richard Armitage was in Cats.

I play piano, flute and oboe, however, I haven't touched any of them in a very long time, so rusty isn't the word for what I'd be if I did now.

As for my pups, I don't think any of them play anything. Clark canonically took guitar lessons, but he kept breaking the strings so it didn't work out.

I was sent into recorder recovery. I play no instruments. I can't read music. I blame my dyslexia for the whole "unable to link sound + written note + position on instrument" thing.

As for my characters...Hmm.
Marlowe can read music and sing damn well, but not sure if he would have ever gotten his hands on an instrument.
Ajedrez millicanonically plays chello.
Medusa can play...oh, I can't remember what they are called. Your Middle Eastern/Desert peoples string instruments that you pluck, and she can turn out a fine tune on a drum. Mostly, she just uses her voice.
Esfir doesn't play anything, although I could see her on a piano if her fingers were longer.
Kore-Persephone...probably plays lots of things by now, although I can see her more with plucking intrsuments than ones with bows, or wind instruments.
Dara isn't saying. I suspect she can play things.
