Trip Playing An Instrument
In character, or massively OOC?
Some of these people haven't taken their medication. Let's see what happens now...

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
Pretty obviously in-character since he played a harmonica in "Precious Cargo" that I know of, had something to do with it in "Cogenitor" (been a while since I watched that mess) and traded it in "North Star."

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
LOL Harmonica doesn't count... But as I haven't slept in a while... (don't ask how long) I'll admit I forgot tonight. So have a good laugh at my expense. I am... So what do Y'all think, is a guitar or a little piano out of the question?

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
Why doesn't a harmonica count? It's a musical instrument.

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
Well it counts like a Triangle or a tamborine counts... Yes a musical instrument, yes it can be important. But it's not an instrument that usually requires dedication like Yo-Yo Ma's chello. Sorry to any tamborine or Triangle players in the universe.

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
I'm not sure the triangle and cymbol players employed at the New York Philharmonic are too worried. I knew a Cymbal player, and he had a master's degree in percussion from Berklee College of Music. He also played the triangle and the bass drum at the symphony as well - so his training was eclectic, as well as extensive.
As for the harmonica, it's actually pretty difficult to learn to do well - you can't just blow into the thing. A real one, not a kiddie one that is. In fact, knowing how to do it properly indicates musical training. It's very possible Trip could play another wind instrument as well.

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
I'm not knocking the harmonica, the cymbols, the triangle, or the tamborine. I know the harmonica isn't easy, my surrogate grandfather is an expert player and self-taught. I was just thinking of something different that I'm not sure how to express, so until I am sure how to make my point I will shut up.

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
In that "Foundations" reboot I was working on with CX way back when, we had Trip play the violin and then jokingly comment in a self-deprecating way that he couldn't find a fiddle. The idea we were running with was that his mother made sure all of her kids were "civilized" (her idea of the word) and could play at least one classical instrument - I think we had Lizzie playing the piano, but I can't recall...

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
I think he can play piano and guitar very well, though he doesn't make a big deal out of it. (I have no evidence to back this up, I just like musical guys so I decided Trip must have a lot of musical talent.)

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
I think I read somewhere CT plays guitar... I love musical guys myself but that's not why I brought it up. It's funny Rigil should mention Trip's mother being the catalyst for Trip's musicality (is that a word). In my head she was a concert pianist who teaches music theory and composition at Juliard. (Yeah spelled that wrong) But I just don't think of playing an instrument as making one civilized, Tommy Lee anyone? He puts out cancer sticks on his tuonge! (yeah spelled that wrong too) But there is evidence Trip likes the piano in Cogenitor Brandyjane.

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
Actually, WarpGirl, I think that scene in "Cogenitor" is what gave me the idea Trip plays the piano in the first place.

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
It gave me my ideas for Mama Tucker, the piece he chose isn't one casual listeners of classical piano choose.

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
As long as he's not stereotypically playing the banjo I'm happy...
She's got an awfully nice bum!

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
KTR Dude, seriously the banjo is a perfectly respectable instrument, and since I'm south of the Mason Dixon line I gotta stand up for it. But to make you feel better, I was thinking Trip's brother could play that!

Re: Trip Playing An Instrument
Feh! The harmonica was bad enough. I'm not dissing the South or either instrument. It's just that sometimes they just made Trip too much of a Southern good ole' boy! Probably just to satisfy the prejudices of TPTB and make Trip a "hick". You know, someone who learned warp engines by fiddling around with motor boats.
