well, before puberty, I was a tenor, now I'm more of a baritone, though IMO I sound OK, a cross somewhere between Don Henley, Elton John, James Taylor, Roger Waters, John Mellencamp, David Gahan and Gordon Lightfoot (just try to wrap your head around THAT sound
), depending on song style
I played the trumpet for a year or so in elementary school as a part of a band class, but only after being forced to since I was not allowed to play the guitar or piano, and thus I was never really any good at it, and thereafter transferring out of the band class I quickly stopped playing
in retrospect, I should have done at least the saxophone or, probably better, the violin or cello since I could have got infinitely more value from those instruments for what I wanted to do musically
anyway, I am currently learning (slowly) to play the keyboard/piano, I can play a few simple songs (more like a somewhat random series of chord progressions) on it, and when I have reached a more intermediated to advanced level of playing, I hope to learn to play the guitar and maybe the sax or drums after that
however, one thing I have down pat is SONGWRITING, especially lyrics, I quite a few album's worth of songs, different genres too, from super sappy ballads to silly parodies to bone-shattering heavy metal to experimental "symphonies" involving things called microtones
