I'll round a few up to send your way. Writing poetry is really therapeutic, a good way of delving into emotions and along the way banishing a few ghosts.

Sugar Magnolia wishes everyone a happy holiday season

steve, with a talent that can bring a smile to a youngones face is more than enough for nothing is better than seeing a smile on a youngun.....oak

I am older then I look and I feel older than I am

cheryl I have to agree with you reading poetry can bring out alot of hidden feelings that has been bottled up for a very long time....and thanx in advance....oak

I am older then I look and I feel older than I am

Er. Ok

Well, it's no secret to many that I love playing my bass guitar.... however, not many people know that when I was much younger when I didn't know what to do with my life I nearly made the decision to try and become an instrument maker - or a luthier.

Anyway, I've attached a picture of a fretless bass I made when I was 19 and couldn't afford to buy a custom built one. I still play this one at gigs occasionally.

Piture is lousy, can't see the grain of the wood, but there you go - I've shared

Never be afraid to do your own thing

hey jo, the bass looks good to me I can see a real craftsman in that pic and I bet that with some practice you can be very good at it and you never know you could make money with it....Happy Holidays......oak

Humm, lets see,

Although I'm a vegetarian, when I was a chef I was told I cooked a mean steak. Not that I could ever sample it. Also have a wonderfull ability to soak up tons of useless bits of information, usually so obscure, it can't even by used in trivia.

(Anyone know how many pounds of coffee the average coffee tree produces in a season, to give you more of an idea, those bags of coffee at shops are usually 1 pound. . .and a coffee tree can grow to be 300 feet high.)

Take care my friend

Really enjoy finding out about you all. When I said hidden (r u listening Loz? ) I didnt actually mean 'hidden' lol but a talents a talent all the same!

Bob, I must say your 'piece' is excellent. You are very gifted

As for me, well my talents are pretty boring. As a child, I could pull back both my thumbs alongside my wrists LOL.
I wont mention ear wiggling again..... Errr.....I can play the violin and clarinet, although I havent for a long time. Maybe thats because I dont possess the instruments now
I have an excellent ear, and can hear a tune once, and play it. Sadly, because of this I never learned to read music. I just listened and played lol.......

I write poetry, short stories and I have 2 novels.(unpublished of course).......I paint, and sketch....

Erm., I also tend to 'know' things before they actually happen, and often have visions [spooked] ..LOL......As I said before...call me strange

What else.....being able to lie with a straight face .......maybe my ablity to spell words at high speed? solve anagrams instantly..... ...'Used' to know every country's capital city, but I'm afraid age has caught up with me now.......zzzzzzzzzzz

Oh yeah,

I also really love to sing, and am told I'm good. The talent though, is to come up with 'Weird Al' lyrics on the spot to a song, but only about work and while I'm working . For those of you who have heard Snoop Doggy Dog, a sample of one of my Starbucks renditions:

Workin' on the bar, makin Lattes, Steamin up apple juice!
nonfat....
With my mind on my mocha and my mocha on my mind

Wow Jo ... you make it sound like you were forced ...

Looks like a lot of care (and love even?) went into building that bass. Beautiful picture (even without resolution good enough to see the grain ).

Friendship, the recognition and relationship with
a kindred soul, is one of the greatest joys of life.

Yeah OK I was kidding but your post was just screaming out for a silly reply! Sorry

My 'real' talent is music. I studied for an an advanced "band musicianship" diploma at college. I never got to be really good at any instrument like 'Erie's violin, but I was studying a whole different thing. I can arrange and score big band jazz for example (I was the college big band's pianist), or engineer at a recording studio, that kind of thing.

First insturment was jazz piano, second instrument (for lack of actually having any second 'instrument') was voice.
