Musical talent from ABCtaler's ?

I notice within the pages of ABC tales a considerable amount of talented musicians around.
From piano, brass, stringed instruments and more.
Who plays what, and do we have enough for a trio,
quartet, five piece band or even an orchestra??

I once attempted to play the spoons. I'm sure with a lot of practice, pots of financial investment and large dollop of jiggery pokery I could reach a suitable standard in time for our first gig at the Royal Albert Hall. Alternatively, I could sit quietly and watch real maestros at work.
I can only admire musicians and play a record or CD or the radio- I can do spoons though- maybe a duo OP?
I'm not even very good at the kazoo - but am sure I could do a decent impression of Bez for the right money.

new Julie I have a tambourine,music day centres use all percussion,did like horse clop noises, shakers,triangle,rainmaker.Marracas may spelt wrong! friend used to go,play guitar,and mouth organ. We'd sing a bit,and older sheltered homes,can't read music all join in. Poetry then. Folder files all kind music. My late father played piano,violin accordian.The spoons. None of family picked it up! Able to play.
I have been a singer, songwriter and performer since the 80's and I am just getting together material for some gigs in 2012. I am going to arrange some gigs in France to test the ability to be funny in French but since I don't make UK audiences laugh this might be a little over ambitious.... You can download my material for free on DropBox. Just let me know. We are looking for a female singer for one heartfelt song.

 

So far ABC talers we have Oldpesky and Highhat on spoons with Julie in charge of tambourine and triangle. FB with Kazoo and Lavadis on the high wire providing the vocals and assisted by the Mighty Zeppo. Terrance Oblong or is it the other one ? He will be selling the raffle tickets whilst posing naked. I do believe Silver Sand Lady can play the piano? I think Hudsonmoon plays the ukulele ? And, I read somewhere BarryJ1 plays brass?. Perhaps we could borrow P&PD's xylophone from her alphabet tale. Keyboards, brass and strings plus vocals its looking good so far. Anymore please?

This is going to be a big band- we must agree on the genre!
Hello Highhat. The only thing you need to consider at this point is? Do want to play tea spoons or soup spoons? Please discuss with Old pesky. ps I'm hoping it's going to be a big band. If successful may even tour Denmark. passe pa
