I live just outside of West Point and we often host cadets. The rule at my house is, if it's your first night visiting the Mara house and you're a cadet, you have to play an instrument. This is an ice breaker thing, not a haze; zero judgment.

My wife has a grand piano and a good variety of basic percussion, wind, and stringed instruments. Worst case, a cadet can just play the tambourine or the egg shaker. What basically happens is that we put a song on the big screen and it turns into karaoke with live instruments.

Some of the cadets have MAD talent, especially on piano. One cadet we had over a couple of years back played the fiddle the way I imagine it when down in the "Devil Went Down to Georgia" story. But they are often too shy to bring it up, or to try it in public. We give the venue, and the compunction.

This Sunday we're going to see what @Topkick's son has got. ;)

Music is the great uniter. I played percussion and most brass instruments from 6th grade all the way through the end of college. I love playing. I have a son who plays guitar and piano, and my daughter is an incredible pianist.

There was a time I had an upright bass and played in some small jazz ensembles, trios, quartets, things like that, and I loved playing just for playing sake. And you're right, anyone can play tambourine.

Considering some of our members play a mean skin flute, I'm not surprised we have so many musicians onboard...

If anyone was ever up in MeS, then you saw my Land Cruiser parked outside of the shopette. Just zoom on into that rear view musical piece.

This is Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister. No wonder we're so fucked.

I must have missed it...what school was that given at for graduation? Their student government sucks for arranging that speaker.

Sorry bro, I couldn't make it past "does capitalist democracy still work" and talking glaciers.

That was pretty much the end...or the cameraman agreed with you and made it the end.
 
I’m sure I’ve seen Canada's Deputy Prime Minister and Finance Minister speech before - but for some reason, I am absolutely positive that she was talking about how bad shit was, “with all that starving bullshit, and the dust storms, and running out of french fries and burrito coverings.”

…maybe I am misremembering
