I've played electric bass for years sometimes while in my finest silks. I am learning now to play an acoustic six string, and I will probably play it in my finest silks too. Although I think I would like to play the harp at some point.

How close the sexes sometimes come to one another. It is as much a matter of behavior and the sphere in which they move that separates the masculine part of humanity from the feminine.

I play guitar and have picked it up while dressed but haven't noticed any difference in my playing.
Aside from taking in the different look and being overly aware that heels ARE NOT sneakers when I play [I move around a lot]
I see a lot of guitarists and some bass n horn players but so far no drum players have come forward to round off your band.

In an earlier era I would have been considered a lounge organist. Don't use a big Hammond anymore, updated to Yamaha long ago, and I perform in public in drab occasionally. One day I will introduce Karen to a waiting adoring public.

My Y chromosone is doing the splits
Does Guitar Hero count? LOL
The only musical instrument I've ever really been able to play was the viola, and it's been over 5 years since I've picked one up. Not exactly a manly instrument, only a couple of guys played it in the orchestra (even fewer played violin), and I was the only one who was any good. I always fought with the GG's for first chair while the other guys sat in back, lol.
I don't play my guitar so much as torture it, but occasionally, yes, while dressed.

That is something I haven't done. If I'm practicing, I doubt it would make a difference. If I'm writing though, I go into a state of mind in which it really wouldn't matter. On stage though, I'm along way from doing that.
I thought about your post some more and think cding and playing guitar are both avenues of release and exspression,seems I spend the same amount of time playing as I do dressing and they are somewhat linked for me in that creative part of my mind.The experimenting is a thrill,and its never ending with both.I think I'll combine them more often.
I dont have much opportunity but I play piano and have once or twice played while dressed and it was great fun and very relaxing.Mmmmm,maybe a concert diva would be a good look??

I only started learning keyboard 9 months back. Still very much a newbie but I enjoy experimenting with MIDI/sequencers/synths etc. Even composed a few trance/ambient pieces. It is *great* to do this stuff dressed...seems to get the creative juices flowing
I haven't yet, but I really would like to once I get some more stuff to wear and whatever...A lot of my favorite bands do the crossdressing thing and I'm happy to have recently made another good friend who said they'd help me with kind of forming an image to go with my music...
So umm, I'll go with I would if I could ^_^ ()
No I dont play any instrument but love to put dance music with my heels and wiggle it.
I'm more of a vocalist myself, as a man, I can sound like just about any male singer though I'm really partial to Tom Jones on that end and en femme, I have more of a 2nd alto/1st tenor sultry blues singer voice
Yes. i love to play music while dressing up. it sets my mood and i love to dance in my outfits.
I don't play any instruments but I do sing and have done a few disco/karaoke events for friends. I also like to mime en femme. Last year I did a party for a close friend and about 40 other friends. I dressed as Cher and did some miming to a few of her records. At first people thought I was singing but they didn't know who I was. After the performance they were really impressed. A few of them realised that it was a bit more than fancy dress for me. I loved it.

Yep, I have more than once and I'm a drummer of 30 years
Drumming, My other hobby
After reading the posts on this thread I'd have to say the two things certainly go together! Music and dressing. I'm with all of you on this one.

Hey girls, look!! Our drummer showed up. Whooooohooo. It's do-able now.
Pink,
You didn't know drummers are always the last ones to show up? LOL

But seriously, it seems to me that skirts are not best friends of a drummer.
How do you do it?

Well I do play guitar dressed from time to time and yes it does feel different.The finger nail thing can be a problem on the left hand.
I do find a different style in the femme mode its still metal but a little more mellow.
As Candy knows the day after halloween I'm filling in for a friend's guitar player and doing a private party. 16 song set all 80's metal.
The band is all girl and so they want me to dress the part(they know I
m a CDer.)Mini skirt ,heels and a plunging top those are the requirments.Who am I to complain?

A little finger tapping,and hammer-ons in this pic yeah I know I'm an 80's girl.

Yes I have been playing guitar since I was 5 and I have even plyed it when naked.LOL Billie JeanI've been playing guitar for about 5 years and I'm curious if anyone of you have ever played music while dressed up. I find it soo relaxing and for some reason it is easier for me to write new songs. I guess I'm just more comfortable as a girl.
The band I play with doesn't know about my dressing. You are sure lucky. Billie JeanWell I do play guitar dressed from time to time and yes it does feel different.The finger nail thing can be a problem on the left hand.

I'll sit down and play at The Piano when it moves me to do so. Doesn't seem to matter whether it's Joanie or John, although it's a bit harder to hold down the pedals when your in heels.
My playing doesn't seem to be better or worse, no matter which of us is at The Keyboard. After many years of not playing, and reteaching myself; I now speculate that: "I'm just good enough to realize how good I ain't!"
But it is fun and takes away a lot of stress.
Peace and Love, Joanie
Hence the reason I wear dresses.J/K Carroll

BTW, I have to always show up early. Everybody has to set thier stuff around me. LOL

Billie Jean the guys in my band would kill me if they knew the CD side of me.They are a bunch of tattoed ogers from hell.We do the 80's-90's thrash metal thing.I'm the only one in the band that dosen't have a tattoo or a hole in my nose!
The girl that was the lead singer and keyboard player in a band I was in in high school started an all girl metal band several years ago.They have a gig coming up and I'm going to fill in for their guitar player while she is out of town so what an opportunity to dress and to rock!
