I was thinking about this the other morning while listening to music during my morning workout. I've been a music fan for about 49 years I suppose. My Mom used to tell a story about me when we lived in Germany. I was maybe a year old. When I'd hear the old Telefunken radio playing, I'd run downstairs yelling "MockNow, MockNow!" (which was my pronunciation of music?) and sit down with my legs under the radio and listen. As long as I can remember I've listened to music and to this day I appreciate a really good musician, regardless of their style of music (although, I am loathe to call "rap" music).
Anyway, I was recalling all the instruments that seemed to come and go in popular rock songs. Some are still around, some seem to have lost favor or be out of style.
In no particular order:
- Mandolin (new)
- Accordion (Weird Al?)
- Cowbell ("more cowbell!")
- Saxophone
- Violin
- Piano
- Pedal Steel Guitar
- Organ
- Flute (Jethro Tull anyone?)
Seems like I thought of a few more when it was fresh on my mind. Now, not so many.
How many other are there out there? I may review some of my older library of songs to see if there are a few more to add to this list.
