So Cello, you were in a band?  I've been playing piano for over 10 years now, but I still suck in general knowledge and music theory... T_T  And I suck at composing.  I just play for fun I guess.  The nice thing about being at around my level is that you can pick up a piece and pretty much play it after some practice - it's nice to look through new pieces.
In terms of learning, I'm currently doing a Bach Prelude & Fugue, a Mozart Sonata, Chopin Waltz, and a piece by Debussy.

Nah. I just thought it sounded cool so I picked it up.  It plays both melody and bass depending on the piece. When I get rich, I'll probably pick it up again. But, yeah, I have no musical talent,
can't compose, don't know musical history, can't pronounce half the things in musical theory. XD I just like playing cool songs. I did it for fun, too, I suppose. I was pretty good at playing, that's
just timing, and coordination. But I had no ear either ;P I needed other people to tune my cello for me.
