How many Road Geeks are musicians? I play flute and accordion. We should start a band called Roadgeek. Who is in with me? We can exchange files via ICQ.
I am a Roadgeek and a Fishgeek and a Tigergeek!

I play piano and violin.

I play trombone but I only send files through IRC, or by printing it off in binary and sending it FedEx.

I have taken years of piano lessons in the past, and still play routinely.

I like to attach bells to the linkage of my column mounted three speed while I drive around Mena, Arkansas in a Ford Galaxie.

Trombone back in high school; piano and keyboards ongoing.

I wrote a short soundtrack instrumental for a driving video along the Alaskan Way Viaduct (former US 99) southbound many years ago. The video hosting site died a while back, but the song is still up on an almost forgotten Soundcloud page: https://soundcloud.com/therealkurumi/alaskan-way-jam

If I re-do the song, I'd start with adjusting some of the balance between tracks

Would these be cowbells?   We definitely need more cowbell.

I play guitar, drums, other percussion, piano, recorder, organ (badly), and I'm probably forgetting something.  I also sing, compose, and arrange music.

But I haven't used ICQ since the 90s.  IRC is a good idea, but it crashed my computer last time I installed mIRC.

I would think for a roadgeek band you would want someone to play various synthesizers for the following:

1) rumble strips
2) concrete pavements

I played saxophone in high school band and in a jazz band my first year of college, but haven't touched the horn in 30 years. I can still read music and remember the fingering patterns, but I'm sure it would take forever for me to get up to speed.

When I was in high school, I wanted to be Walter Parazaider.

I am highly experienced in the art of Kazoo playing.... And I can sort of play "Ode to Joy" on the piano :-P

I always liked drums since my dad used to play 'em, so one day when I was in 9th grade in high school in spring 2004 during Music Appreciation class while the teacher was gone, I decided to play the drums. I thought I was pretty damn good...until everybody else left the room and shut the door behind them. It sunk in real fast that drums are not for me!  :ded:

I ain't too bad on the piano, though...or at least, I never ran anybody out the room.

I played clarinet in high school/college/adult community band for close to 30 years, but I haven't touched it in 10 years.  More recently, I sang baritone in a men's barbershop chorus for several years.  Now I'm just a patron of the arts.

I play piano and cello. (surprise, surprise)

Can we please turn this discussion back to the topic of why on earth anyone is still using ICQ?

I don't know, but I laughed loudly when I saw those letters.

What the heck is ICQ?

I used to play drums but haven't picked up a drumstick in over thirty years.

There was once a band of Georgia DOT employees that called itself Experimental Pavement.

A group of KYTC employees entertained a conference a few years ago. (I didn't attend, but there's a YouTube video out there).

The band's name? Phil 'n the Potholes.

-  Goat Warriors
-  Metal 366
-  The Trumpotenuse
