Musicians or non musicians

[Rick and Roll]

I am a non-musician. I played Baritone in school, only because everyone was steered away from Trumpet.

I'd guess you'd find more musicians than not here, but probably not more than other forums.

However, I do have some interesting and annoying attributes, none of which pays the bills:

I can recognize a song in very few notes. I can recite complete song orders from a lot of records. I know a lot of times of songs.

As for other genres, I love hard rock and power pop, if they're done without sounding forced. Bands like the Smithereens, Dada..that I can do. A lot of "Neo"...nah. Same with hard rock (I despise the term heavy metal). I like Maiden, Priest. Not so with a lot of prog-metal.

I grew up with funk too, and still like R & B.

But not straight rap or most country.
