   KNew a lot of guys played them back in the day.  NOt a bad   
   learner instrument really.   
      
   Depending on the song I might play an electric part,   
   especially if it's foundation and doesn't have to stand out   
   in the mix.  My main instrument is keyboards, then of   
   standard rhythm and combo instruments bass then drums, then   
   acoustic guitar.  USed to play trumpet and trombone too but   
   my lip's way gone now, too much whiskey, too much road and   
   too many cigarettes.   
      
   Regards,   
              Richard
