Since I am a "refugee", and all that I really dont know but a select few on the By-tor board. So who are you and what do you do?

Me I am in medical supplies. Warehouse shipping and receiving, and delivery. We service must of the Pacific Northwest. Been there for 4 years and 22 days now and like most day gigs,(yes I spelled it all dicked up on purpose to be a clown like that) I want to just play music and teach music privately and professionally.
This leads me to the alter ego that is the Walkinghairball...........
I play drums for a classic rock band here in Spokane, Wa.
Innersanctum is the name. Been with them for 10 years now and even though we play every thing else we still try to get our stuff out there. We got a new rhythm guitarist/ keyboardist about 9 months ago and were still working the rust and bugs off of him. Unfortunately we play all month long in July so I have no chance to see the boy's at Whiteriver or Clark County. Contracts suck when they get signed 3 days before the tour dates come out.
Ok, who's next.

I am a musician, a young composer, one man band i play the guitar , bass, and sing, bass is the prime instrument so it shines above in my composing, greatly inspired by geddy he saved my bass playing ability without it i'd still be playing .... new age junk..

I have no day job. Hah! Chores and stuff... I'm between things now, going to school for a trade will be my day job in 6 months or a year from now. I've been toying with the idea of a part time job soon though. Who knows, all will work out! I am a young'un if you're wondering

I play Guitar and I've recently started singing, it's coming along good. I am not as hard of a stone-cold rocker as ElfDude or Zivo yet, but I do alright

I have never played new-age crap like Myghin, I played mostly classic rock and considered stopping playing as I didn't find a style that I really liked. Alex saved me from that and here I am today

If you're curious about their stone-cold-rocking prowess then you may check it out the Elfdude or Zivo threads in the General section. (The one we're in!)

By day I am working towards being a metrologist... for now I'm a senior tech in the primary standards lab at Hart Scientific (www.hartscientific.com)

I'm also a divorced parent, trying to raise two beautiful little girls almost single-handedly. That could be a full-time job all by itself, but I have to do the day job thing to keep up with the house payments and put food on the table (and pay alimony if the ex gets her way, but I'm fighting).

When the opportunity arises I try to make music. I like recording at home, as well as playing in an oldies band once in a while. Like the cool Lifesonitedude said, more on that in another thread.

single/divorced mum of 2 kids....like Elfie they are beautiful but also shits from hell! I dont work as such waiting for my son, the youngest, to go to school (he's in nursery the now) then I'll go and get a job.
I dont play any instruments as such but I have got my music o' level...

I work in customer service/firefighting. Most days its glorified data entry, other days its problem solving as quickly as I can.

Musician? Guitar sitting beside me, collecting dust. I play, but the muse hasn't struck me as of late. In fact I think my muse is on strike...

Married 12 years, 2 kids, etc. etc.

Welcome to the madhouse 'refugee'

I deliver mail to rural areas down 'ere in South West England for way too many years now but I get to drive every day (and play cassettes non-stop) unlike the majority of my 'walking with heavy mail bags' colleagues. Burdened with the usual wife, three children, dog, three cats and a pc.
I play my drums several times a week in support of my ongoing 'HusK' project.

Hi walkinghairball!
By day I help manage an internet tech support center. It's not as exciting as it sounds, though. Can you imagine being Mother and Father to 800 screaming baby birds (tech agents) all at once? Those pissers need their worms.

By night.....what *Lifesonite said

Welcome to the playground. Let the fray begin!

I only played new crap because thats what my friends played i eventually gave up playing in their bands just because the music was boring

Zivo · Post by **Zivo** » Sat Apr 24, 2004 7:00 pm

Actual new-age is meant to be a bit boring, I think. I absolutely love it in the background of a conversation or with a cuppa after a dicky day. To play it would be torture, to use it for a zen-like calm is good stuff.
OMMMMMMMMMMMM

Can I ged a no honk garruntee from you, dude?

ElfDude · Post by **ElfDude** » Sun Apr 25, 2004 12:13 am

Zivo's right. New age music does have it's place. In the 80's I used to write and record my own version of it. And I loved the bands that pioneered it, like Tangerine Dream and Ashra.
