Cryptowen Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) my mom used to listen to ambient music & she had a casio vl-tone, so that's prolly where i got my start one of my uncles used to self-produce lo-fi experimental guitar music back in the late 80s. i have one of his albums on cassette but it's so quietly mixed that i can barely make anything out. maybe that was the intention??? uhh lessee...my sister played violin & ocarina for a while but i don't think i ever got any samples off her.

Guest Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Dad played guitar. Bob Dylan, Neil Young, Hank Williams, Hank Snow, etc. Then he got into bluegrass hardcore and learned to play the banjo like a motherfucker as a midlife crisis thing or something. He was amazing. Played every day, all day. Then just stopped. Now retired, he fixes old guitars and mandolins.He never got into what I was doing, but he didn't mind it either.

usagi Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 neither of my parents are musical at all but there's a tradition in the extended family of holding parties every weekend and playing music on the harmonium and tabla w vox. can't say that's necessarily fed into any of my passions per se.

Cryptowen Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 i found banjo tuff to play when i had access to one. They have this crazy metallic reverb going on & you need to mute it just right also, which watmm member was it who was closely related to dave brubeck?

Heh, sounds similar to my dad, although he was more into The Shadows, Deep Purple, etc. He played guitar in a rock band until he was 20 or so, then started a softer band and eventually got into bluegrass banjo and became a fkn virtuoso on the thing (even now with arthritis forcing him to use only two fingers and thumb to play). Got into warranty repairs for Fender and various independent music stores and has now retired, occasionally inventing things and doing independent repair work. So, I'd say I got my passion for music from my dad He's not really into the styles I play (apart from the occasional acoustic or surf stuff that I make) but can appreciate the melodic content. My parents actually got together because my dad taught my mum how to play bass (she wanted to be like Suzi Quatro). Cute story! My mum doesn't play anymore though, but still owns a 70s Mustang bass which is pretty damn amazing.

Danny O Flannagin Posted February 17, 2015 Report Share Posted February 17, 2015 Kind of a musical family, my parents had us play instruments in elementary school but we all hated it. Honestly hated music in general until i bought a cassette walkman randomly and started listening to old Beatles cassettes. Got into making music from people i met in college who were already creating. Definitely much more influenced by friends than family when it comes to music Thanks Haha Confused Sad Facepalm Burger Farnsworth Big Brain Like × Quote Hide Danny O Flannagin's signature Hide all signatures https://nimajeb.bandcamp.com/music https://www.instagram.com/bengastphoto/ Link to comment https://forum.watmm.com/topic/86734-musical-family/#findComment-2292400 Share on other sites More sharing options...
