Musically inclined?
Can you carry a tune? Play an instrument, or maybe were "parentally forced" to learn an instrument when you were young, but suck at it, or learn to hate it?
Or...maybe lack the talent yourself to make music but just have a good ear for the nuances of music?
IF you do play or sing, are you self taught, a natural, or learned? Were you a band geek, what did you play and why did you chose that instrument?
Ex boyfriend of mine has the natural ability for quite a few instruments, mostly bass, he can learn and play songs by ear... played a tuba in the school band, why he chose the tuba...I dunno, but he enjoyed playing it all his life, That's kinda rough, waking up in the middle of the night to a tuba playing insomniac!

Re: Musically inclined?
I for the record, have no musical talent whatsoever as far as making music and I cannot sing at all, I'm a pretty good listener, have picked up the infamous "subliminal" stuff in some songs (these songs with the subliminal content, usually from the seventies I guess?) and can pick up some of the more subtleties of a song.
The only other thing, if I really focus and work with the right musician, I can co write songs and sometimes act as a "producer" as far as recommending changes like tempo, song genre, instruments with someone elses songwriting, Can't say as they are really good.
So really, yeah....I pretty much suck at musical things.

Re: Musically inclined?
I used to play piano and guitar, all be it not very well. In high school had to play the clarinet, even worse than anything else. I can only sing poorly.

Re: Musically inclined?
In my younger days (way way back), I played guitar(took lessons)and drums(self taught). I taught myself how to write music(guitar).
I still love to play guitar and the drums although not very often. I was of course in many, many garage bands. A three man, Two four man and one eight man band. When I played in bands just for the hell of it is when I had the most fun! 
The three man band was my most memorable time. It happened in the late sixties when Jimi Hendrix was big. We enjoyed being local celebrities for being the only three man band for hundreds of miles around. I enjoyed my time in the limelight. 
Ahhhhhh, youth. Those were the days..........

Re: Musically inclined?
Played drums and trumpet in school. . .yeah, band geek. Tried guitar, didn't like it. Want to try bass, been a little busy to start. I do tend to hum little tunes throughout the day. Can't explain that one.
