Musicians Unite

I have intentionally dedicated time each day lately to play guitar and / or fiddle and noticed that I seem to get lost from the outside world while playing and exploring the instruments.

I’m curious if anyone else in the community plays musical instruments and have found the same to be true or gained some other benefit that contributes to your recovery?

If not a musical instrument? What is your goto therapeutic activity that allows you to draw peace and joy?

Just recorded a cover version of The Cure’s “Boys Don’t Cry”, finally finished it after a bad drinking streak around my birthday and didn’t touch any alcohol since.

Ahh the cover of Captain & Tennill’s Love Will Keep us Together played on vibta slap!

I’ll get it posted today!!

Ah man, that vibraslap!

You wouldn’t believe it but that vibraslap made that track! I think it was “Through the motions”.

Get those bad boys loaded up, let’s see what people think!

They’d actually also qualify for the “Instrumentals thread” lol

This is a song my buddy @DresdenLaPage wrote and I just supplied the drums… oh, and rhe vibraslap. :grin:

Ey up!

I really hope someone can help - is there any male vocalists in here who can record some vocals for me? I will pay via the medium of dance

@HoofHearted and I did it again! Dan is such a badass at this!

Ifs- I’ve been having the same issues myself. I’m a musician (piano/keyboards/bass) but haven’t sat down and played for a few months. Evidently this is common when you’re dealing with depression…you lose motivation and interest in things. I hate that, too, because this is the only real hobby I have. You’re not alone. I hope you get inspired again soon…and feel better. :+1:

I am SO jealous!!!
