I was 3 years old, and it was "Toccata And Fugue In D Minor" by JS Bach

Not a musician but played cornet in junior high school. Probably chose that because my Dad played it. Younger brother played trumpet in the USMC band for 4 years, which I understand is quite an accomplishment. If he played in THE USMC in DC, that is quite an accomplishment. Yes - THE USMC. He was based primarily in Quantico so pretty sure he played in DC.

When I was about 8 the Pastor asked me to sing solo one Sunday.
Paul, please sing solo I and the rest of the congregation can't hear you.......... I was asked to sing tenor... Ten or eleven miles from here would be great....

I saw Sha-Na-Na and just knew I had a future in music! LOL
I remember loving Johnny Hortons Greatest Hits and taking it for show and tell in kindergarten.
Started with the violin in 2nd grade after I saw a child prodigy in my 1st grade class. Got tired of Mom nagging at me to practice and quit after a few years.
I met one of my best friends around 12 yo and his dad had a great record collection. He would make me tapes of those records and the minute I heard Whole Lotta Love was a "WTF?" moment. By the time Bring It On Home came on, I was plotting to get a guitar.
Still miss that vinyl sound.
Bet I missed half of High Scool playing the guitar. I had half of the frets wore off and even some of the fret board by my junior year. Miss that old Carlos acoustic.

Can't remember the year - have tried to block it out of my mind. Piano. HATED it! Suffered (and caused suffering for my nice teacher) for way too many years. Mom wanted me to be the next Libber Ace or something. Song was "Bone Sweet Bone". Played cornet (very poorly) in high school.

I can not play squat, but the guy that toted 60 on my team went from scratch to Malagueña by memory of what it sounded like.
Scratch meaning that he could not play a guitar.
Hope he went on to do well on other aspects of his life.
