How many instruments do you play?

Well, I play many instruments, though I don't play all of them very well. Guitar is definitely my primary instrument. I also play a bit of mandolin and banjo. Back at Bluffton High School, I was quite an adept trumpeter, but my chops aren't nearly what they used to be. I've started to learn to play the drums recently; it is really fun to hit things and call it music.

What was the first one you played? How old? Did the Gundy family have its own band?
