My mother gave it to me.

No, but I'd enjoy getting together with a proper band and just rock out in a small venue... make it a night people wont forget. First gig I played was 100% piano to several hundred people :S

Doesn't let the arseholes running the major labels get all the money they want. Great for small bands that are actually talented, though. Personally I find loads of great bands through p2p software.

If I was doing it for the right reasons.

11 years of playing the piano. Tried guitar lessons about 8 years ago, but didn't learn much, so forgot it all, until about 2 years ago when I started taking it much more seriously.

After failed attempts to pull a 70s funk covers band called "No Parking" together for more than a month, I have joined Sacred Flesh!

Frédéric Chopin - my favourite classical composer.

Symphony X - fantastic neoclassical power metal... stuff. Symphonic, absolutely magnificent music.

Ron Thal - absolute guitar god, main rock influence.

Muse - huge inspiration when mixing piano and guitar into my music.

Rancid - proves mixing ska/reggae/country into punk actually works.

John Cage - experimental piano music!

Freak Kitchen - very very talented musicians not afraid to try anything new.

Somewhere secluded. In a big field. With trees.

My Roland piano!!! Basic vintage Strat through whatever amp I can find, but I use a Boss MT-2 distortion and a Crybaby Wah.

Hopefully will be getting a new keyboard soon... one with choir vocal sounds!
