I bring a Native American flute.
It makes my wife crazy but I bring four musical instruments along, a hammered dulcimer, a small guitar (for backing up other dulcimer players) and two button accordions. Storage is an issue but at our RV resorts I usually make music with friends or find local jam sessions or open mics.
Lack of talent.
Me, too. 🙁
Nope for a howling dog would sound better.
I lead a professional jazz trio. I never leave home without my guitar.
Yes indeed. It’s called a radio. LoL
ditto
No, but we were treated to an impromptu concert staying a week over Christmas at a Florida RV park. Young family with two boys who were very talented. They gave the park a free Christmas concert.
I have no musical ability. Can’t even sing, wife says I have a five note capability. She plays a Piano when in the mood.
Pulled in to a park and saw a drum set outside a MH ….. we moved on.
Hi, George. Maybe it was just a “prop” to give them space(?).🤔 Have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
No reason to. I can barely play the radio, let alone an instrument. Really wish I could, though.
Ditto
I did till it was stolen from my site.
I always have a harmonica with me. Maybe someday I’ll learn how to play the dang thing!
I bring a recorder (flute), but almost never play it. Luckily, it takes up little room.
Except for a kazoo, I never learned how to play a musical instrument. I wanted to learn percussion in school. My mother said absolutely not, pick another instrument. Both of us being stubborn, I never did.
Hi, Jim. Reminds me of my instrumental background. In the 4th grade I had to pick out what instrument I wanted to learn. Having just seen the “Benny Goodman Story” (1956), I thought it sounded like fun to play a “licorice stick.” Well, even though I didn’t like it very well, I was “first chair” in band and orchestra all through school, then I quit playing it. Don’t miss it at all. Have a great day. 😀 –Diane at RVtravel.com
4 Native American flutes in different keys, all made by the craftsman at High Spirit Flutes in Patagonia AZ. Excellent workmanship & superior tone!
Does my washboard with bottle cap gloves count? I can be the rhythm section if others bring their instruments. I also bring a cajon and the world’s largest kazoo. Seriously.
I have 2 washboards 1 personal size 1 family Apparently I’m the only 1 left in the USA who washes clothes on a washboard Not routinely in case of electrical outage
Does a boatload of 60’s – 80’s classic rock CD’s count? lol, this was (and still is) the best era of music, IMHO!
I play the steering wheel drums to the music on the radio 🙃
If you consider the roar of a generator music to your ears? Then yes, I bring one.
I bring a plethora of instruments. I used to be able to play 13 instruments. Now, in my old age I’m only doing 8 or so.
Piano keyboard, 88 note weighted key Allesis. Viola, C flute, Upright string bass, Bass guitar, Cello, Baritone euphonium, variety of Native American flutes.
The keyboard is my newest instrument, only 2 years old. I built it into my motorhome. The euphonium is oldest (1928) followed by my cello (1936).
I’m a pianist. I always bring my grand piano—in my dreams. Luckily, I don’t practice like I used to, and many places have pianos to play when I get the urge. Playing at MacDonald Lodge in Glacier NP was fun.
Highly recommend getting a Uke and learning how to play it. Plenty of easy songbooks out there. Calms me right down. Always ask neighbors if it’s OK to play for a bit. Only turned down once ……by bird watchers. Most folks seem to really enjoy it.
Though some folks can’t carry a tune in a barrel most everyone brings their voice with them everywhere. My singing voice isn’t what it used to be but I always have it with me 😎.
The only musical instrument that I play is the radio
Since I live full-time in my RV, my musical instruments are always with me. I have a full-sized electronic piano keyboard, a bass guitar and three Native American flutes.
Can’t play anything myself, but I enjoy the impromptu bluegrass jam sessions at many Tennessee state parks. There’s almost always somebody with a banjo, a fiddle, a guitar, and maybe a mandolin.
