I, too, have musical abilities.  The guitar, flute and synthesizer are instruments I play.  My synth has multiple tracks.  I'm then able to program entire songs then either play other instruments or just sing with the song.

In other words, I am a one person band.  This was how I made a living once upon a time.

I can sing and play the violin. I really love listening to the flute.

I can sing (and I actually have a karaoke business on the side). Other than that I never really kept up with any instruments that I had taken classes as a child. My parents had me in piano lessons for several years and I was very good at it (I have an excellent ear for music). But the lessons used more classical music to teach -- nothing modern at all. So eventually I just got bored and stopped the lessons.

I also learned how to play what I call the knuckles... cupping your hands and blowing through your thumb knuckles to make a loon call (http://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-Loon-Call (http://www.wikihow.com/Do-a-Loon-Call). I actually got good at being able to adjust my hands for each note, and could actually play some real songs instead of just a loon call.

I play the piano okay.  Used to play the organ when I was a kid.  I also play the clarinet in a local community band.
