Who else is a musician?

One of the first things my dad said to me after my bp fiagnosis trying to cheer me up, wss that many creative people, artists, have bp.

I definitely have an artistic side.

I play the alto sax and have played for about 14 years.

I wish i could devote more time to playing, im a busy guy, but i do have some stuff on yotutube.

Do you play anything? Sing? Rap? Paint? Please share your story.

Thanks.

Lol. P.S. i saw lion king on broadway friday the guy playing timone was fantastic

It's my all time favourite movie! I cried when he died in the stampede

U really have to make the trip to NY to see it. Year after year it wins awards for best play I've seen it twice now

They're playing it here in Aus next year!

Nice! I wonder if its the same ppl

I believe it's the same touring actors but don't quote me on that one!

That mufasa looks different than the guy we saw. Costumes look the same tho!

Aaaaah!

Ummm does playing something but not being very good at it count? Lol

Absolutely does count! As long as you have the dedication to practice and get better

Here's a sample. I bought a $200 professional jazz mouthpiece when I was manic (oops), here's me playing Charlie parker :

I am not , at all .

But , my BP Daughter is a Musician,Singer. Plays every instrument but doesn't care for the tuba. Shes currently promoting her second CD .

She certainly has the artistic abilities to the max

That cool! Shes young im guessing. Always encourage her and also encourage improvisation and/or writing her own music!

I've been a musician since I was about 14 and have always had a love for music. Oddly enough looking back my pdoc and I both think my bipolar started around the same age. I play guitar and bass guitar. I do sing a little but I don't think it's all that great even though everyone says I'm good. I think they're just trying to be nice.

I play the violin, played for 5 years in Orchestra in school now play by myself

Nice! Put some stuff up on youtube id love to see!

Id love to see some of your stuff as well whether your own or playing covers. Youtube is a great thing haha

I can play ten instruments My main instrument is trombone though, because it is quite obviously the best!

Eh I just play dulcimer and barebones Autoharp

Music always calms me down more creative about art... that is where I like to get lost

I've played clarinet and piano most of my life. It's the one and only talent I have and I am proud of. Musical talent doesn't run in the family, just one great-uncle. I believe my talent might be partially relative to the BP and OCD, but I don't know how. I've always noticed how my brain works so differently compared to others, getting from point a to b. Could the musical talent be part of that?

Playing has been my escape, my sanity. I remember when I was a teenager and when the BP and OCD came about. I would play for hours and just go into my own world. There was no screaming, throwing things, cutting myself, washing my hands over and over, just music. This is what gets me thru the day.

Do you write your own, fellow woodwind blacksheep?
