Bruce Hornsby plays every nerd instrument. Musical device that won’t get you laid? Bruce can wail on that sumbitch.
Uncool instruments Bruce Hornsby plays:
- Piano. (Piano players are universally dorky. Good people–they’re the only category of player from a rock band you would allow in your home–but all of them play D&D. Jerry Lee Lewis excepted: the Killer ain’t no nerd, boy.)
- Dulcimer.
- Zither.
- Autoharp.
- Washtub bass.
- Jug.
- Human beatbox (If you are not Doug E. Fresh, you do not look cool doing the human beatbox routine.)
- Keytar.
- One of those hideous electric violins that looks like you got it out of Pinhead’s sex toy drawer.
- These monstrosities:
- That was clearly made to shove up a demon’s ass for the purposes of sexual release.
- Bruce Hornsby cannot play the regular bassoon, but can rock out on the contrabassoon.
- Ditto the baritone sax.
- Spoons.
- Bruce is also adept at certain forms of harmony singing, most notably a capella and barbershop quartet.
- He has also been known to play the accordion.
Doug.E.Fresh is dope yo……..seriously
bruce man rocks. nerd instruments notwithstanding, bruce saved the Dead shows right after Brent died…
…and he is wonderful to see with the Merymakers….as we did in August after the Dead50 shows in Chi-town…

You want to go back down that road Tor?!
I wanna go down that road. I would love to see a Thoughts on the Stones blog. After it got enough traction, there would be crossovers where The Dead & The Stones traded Bobby & Brian for two weeks. Hilarity ensues.
Me too.
The crossover already happened. For the first leg of the Nov 69 US Tour, Ramrod and Rex Jackson were part of the Stones crew. When the Stones played Oakalnd Coliseum on November 9 ’69, they blew out their amps at the early show. Since most of the Dead we’re already there, Rex and Rod got permission to run to Novato and get the Dead’s equipment for the late show. Owsley was already backstage.
The results can be heard on the infamous Stones bootleg Liver Than You’ll Ever Be
He’s so cute
Oh, I know there are real life crossovers. I asked Sam Cutler to autograph my LP of Get Your Ya-Ya’s Out at a recent DSO show. I want fictional crossovers with the fictional universes. Charlie & Pigpen. That kinda shit
