[Brian Krashpad]

Reading and posting in the "What's in your mp3/cd player right now?" thread I can see we have a lot of varied musical experiences and tastes here. And in the "Promote Your Band" forum we can see what everyone is doing now, for those in bands.

But how did we get here?

For those in bands, what was your first band? How many bands have you been in? What songs or type music did they play? What was the instrumentation/gear you used? Where did you play? What are some great gigging or touring stories you may have? Pics of you back in the day?

That was my original idea for this thread. But what about people who've never been in a band, or maybe have no intention of ever being in a band? They have a musical history too! What was your first guitar, or what style of music did you like first? How did your style of playing, gear, and tastes in music and/or gear change?

Tell us Your Musical History. Take your time in the telling.

Photos encouraged! As well as discussion.

Beware, my own long and "storied" musical history will be included! But I expect to hear from you as well.

You've been warned!
