Racing musicians? :)

[johnml390]

Just out of curiosity... Do we have any racers in here who are also musicians? Any of yall playing for any bands currently if so?

Musician?

Hey John.............I am a retired musician with 20 yrs road work behind me. Just playing at it at the moment. Always bring an axe to the races. Seems to have a calming effect after a day of having more fun...........

Former land racer, prospective boat Guy.
16 years in the clubs, mainly like the 60's and 70's funk, soul, and R&B, but will play most anything.

I believe Gootz has been known to strum a guitar now and then.

I'm 15 and I race 20SSH and OSY400. I've played the clarinet for 8 years, the piano for 5 years, the saxophone for 3 years, the bassoon for 3 years, and I do some composing from full orchestras to duets, which I started recently but haven’t had time to fully complete very much. I've played in numerous bands including: The Ruby Mountain Symphony, The Susanville Symphony, a Big Band in Los Angeles, my local Honor Band, and I currently play lead tenor (as a freshman) in my high school’s Jazz Band and I'm the only Bassoon player in my school. I always want to expand to play many more instruments; however, with racing and what I already have on my plate, I don’t have much time on my hands.

Musicians at the Waterford Race

If you come to Waterford you will hear music on the water by day
and the same racer playing in a band at night. Both are very well done.

I play in a band and have opened up for national acts. Currently the new band is called recycled and we mainly do acoustic with electric once in a while.

music

I played in a country rock band, played keyboards and sang backup vocals, called square dances, played the accordian in a polka band, had a lot of fun over the years. 34 years almost ever Sat night in a club somewhere. Quit playing professionally when I started racing in 1991. Still play occasionally for family and friends and myself.

That's awesome to see we have so many races who are also musicians in some form. I just joined a band here in Central Louisiana as of last Friday. Doing vocals. It's a hardcore band. Not sure how many hardcore fans we have in here. Lol.

I've dabbled around with drums and guitar. But let's just say... I learned how to do some very BASIC things and that's about as far as I ever got with it. Haha.
