Sinister: me a musician?

[Evan Gregg]

i forgot to respond to the musician question
i dunno if id call myself a musician, maybe more so recently
i sing, perty good though a limited range within comfort zone, and
sanity zone i can do wacko vibrato but i sound like a raving loonie
i dont play guitar because chords are too complicated i dont like using
many fingers at once, i play bass fairly well though i havent practiced
in awhile, i like slides, especially on my bass it makes cool little
noises
i play violin and ive actually done so successfully lately since i put
away the sheet music and started playing along to my poems which have
been slowly metamorphisizing into songs lately
i spose my music if i had something to record more than my singing or
violin on would sound like Elliot Smith, i have the annoying habit of
making cuplets out of everything if i dont have a melody to follow, and
maybe a less cool nick drake when i breathe too much
i use too much vibrato
anyway thats prolly  more info than anyone wanted
i wont really considermyself a musician until i have one of the
instruments i really want to play: singing saw, pedal steel, theremin
but im too poor to buy anything like that
guess thats it, i need to be in a band badly, because i have trouble
ccoming up with melodies that arent inherent in the words
kay ill shut up now ive said enough today

np-Silver Jews-American Water, these guys sound like a more typical type
indie version of Giant Sand, esp the singer and some of the lyrics, and
that is a very good thing, the world needs more good giant sand sounding
bands damnit
