We had a piano when I was growing up but I never had lessons.

I always wanted to play the oboe since hearing it in Peter and the Wolf, which mum used to play on the record player a lot when we were growing up. I liked that it sounded scary.
Well, oboes are pretty expensive..

I played flute in high school, and guitar, classical guitar and bass at uni.
I used to have my music lessions in one of my computer science lecture timeslots becuase the lecturer was terrible and basically only read the course notes.

Started going out Thursday-Sunday with a GF who did a community radio show.
Met DH. DH is a drummer and also lead singer in his band.

So our house is full of music. in the study atm is

Roland V-Drum electric drumkit
Bass guitar
Laney aclass valve amp
2 steel string acoustic guitars
2 ibanez electric guitars (one mine on his - he steals mine though but its soooo heavy)
1 gretsch guitar

Hes got the regular Tama drumkit with him cos hes at band practice, and my combo bass/guitar amp has been lent out to someone.

There's also variety of percussion instruments, metallophones etc.

I still wanna learn the oboe. Maybe one day I will win tattslotto
