- About Me:
- I have played my oboe since I was 9 and I taught myself to play the organ. I quit the violin when I was 11. Learning how to play the mandolin and I want to play the guitar. So yes you can say I'm musical!! I love horses and any kind of animals. Love nature and I want to become a vet. or nature photographer. I have 2 cats and 1 Chocolate Lab. I love pop and hip-hop music. My favorites are the veronicas, kanye west, p!nk, and kelly clarkson. I play a lot of jazz and patriotic songs on my oboe. I play anything on the organ, but I'm still learning how to play the mandolin. Even though I'm a beginner at the mandolin, I have already made songs on it. My dog Kobie will sometimes listen when I play too!!!!

- HI Ashley. Keep up the good work and as Tony says, make sure you remain passionate, as being a professional musician, well, the rewards HAVE to be on a personal level for most.
BTW, I have the most wonderful memories of Wexford as a young boy.
My Dad and I used to hunt there almost every weekend in the fall and winter. What a beautiful place it was back in the 1970's (I imagine there are very few places to hunt there now, eh?)

- Every day you play a few notes on any instrument makes the world a better place. It's very nice to know you.

- Hi Ashley, you are obviously a very talented young lady with an appreciation for music. If you want to pursue your musical talents I would suggest that you find an instrument and a music genre that you're really very passionate about and dig into it with all your heart. I started when I was 6 years old, 52 years ago and my only regret is that life can sidetrack you when you least expect it. So, stay focused on a direction that you pick, and it will have its own rewards.
Respectfully.
Tony Basile (and Thank You for showing your interest)
