"You'll be shadowing someone for six months"
Somehow nobody has ever asked to see my hose- faced ass playing the sax. I clearly state to ask me about it on my resume.
You're just not looking for the right placement
fun fact: "Ass trumpet" is a real insult in german and means someone who talks shit, literally
Isn't "ass violin" much more common in German as a general insult?
I can't remember anybody talking about an "ass trumpet", as funny as it sounds.
ah true, violin is prolly more widely used in high german colloqueal speak, although in rural east germany we do say Arschtrompete from time to time. Thanks for correcting me though!
Yeah, I wish I could play an instrument.
I couldn't play for decades. Then i sat down and did my homework, filled a notebook of music theory stuff, anything i could find, and now I'm in two bands at 44 years old.
It's possible. It's not easy. You have to put the work in. But it is definitely possible.
They would require not being lazy. If I weren't lazy I wouldn't be fat. But thanks for the encouragement.
Well, link your bandcamp page, I wanna hear it!
Don't have one.
Have you even tried the butt trumpet? Some people think they don't have talent, and they are literally just sitting on it.
Last time I tried that, they called the police on me.
