I play...Oh...I feel the same way about the trumpet. I played the trumpet for 7 years - not amazingly, but I know how to play the instrument, and I am always torn watching things between "Ooooh Rishi! Awesome disco dance glory" and "OMFG WHYYYYYYYY do you need to abuse the instrument that way?". <br /><br />I was...so, so, so gloriously in love with (the tv series) Treme when I saw the first season on dvd, to discover that it has REAL MUSICIANS playing instruments properly; and the ones who don't play have obviously been taught how to fake it properly. It was...beautiful.Nesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12107616228716988730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4794970591507454525.post-77398293737276859092011-08-09T09:49:12.869-04:002011-08-09T09:49:12.869-04:00Let's not forget the saxophone!

I play the violin, which is probably the most mistreated instrument in BW! Closely followed by the guitar, trumpet, drums..... the list just goes on.<br />I get mad just thinking about it - grrr!<br />We really need a campaign to stop this abuse of musical instruments in films!red42https://www.blogger.com/profile/15490024089676042884noreply@blogger.com
