Hi Alan,
Yeah, punk's great for having a go as it were. My problem is that I've carried this attitude on to all my subsequent music-making activities. I bought a saxophone just over a year ago and due to not being able to afford both the instrument and lessons I just bought the instrument and have been teaching myself using a fairly punk approach (i.e. you know 3 notes now play a 20 minute solo ;) trouble is that when you're in your thirties you can't join any form of band with this attitude as people often mistake your finely honed punk aesthetic for a lack of talent ;) Also I now apply the punk approach to free jazz!!! Oh well, I get round this by playing all the instruments myself and multitracking everything on the PC for my own enjoyment and the enjoyment of anyone bored enough to download the mp3 result. Actually I finally got my site updated so you can hear my sax rambling plus some other stuff in the audio section of www.sol23.com
Have you got any of your current music online????? Are you still playing in your Venetian garage band?
As they say ........punk rawk rools
cheers,
Sol.
