Uh, yeah. I like playing the keyboard, I get visual effects to go with the music of weapons fire.

I started taking lessons for piano about two months ago and each week it's getting harder even though it's still beginner stuff. I have to practise a lot at home because I just don't have the manual dexterity and coordination yet to do those tricky finger movements. When I look at the notes on the music book, I need 100% mental concentration and still I have to pause and think every so often to figure out what it says and what corresponding hand movement goes with it. The teacher makes it look so easy!

YAY! Finally some insanity! My title reads "Re: ZOT!", and if that isn't something insane, I don't know what is!

I want to learn to play the comedy piano, one where all the keys are replaced by ultrasonic emitters.

You can only play a tune by either: Making dogs howl in tune OR The synchronised falling of bats out of flight.

A tough instrument to be sure, but rewarding.

And don't forget that you can also play a tune by synchronizing your hand movements so the ultrasonic emittions cause an earthquake on the other side of the planet, to the tune of "Frère Jacques", but beware; this is extremely difficult.

Theres also the problem that you can't practice to many times before running out of areas to cause earthquakes in.

Also people take a dim view of this, but true artists are regularly unappreciated in their own lifetimes.
