Armstrong's talents also extend into the musical arena. He has mastered the [[ukulele]], using a "banjo"-style ukulele he made himself. With it he entertains audiences with Civil War-era songs and roots music, leading into the blues music he plays with others. His ''Trek''-related blues songs are popular at convention appearances. His [[Filk music|filk]]-song band, The Enterprise Blues Band, includes fellow ''Trek'' actors [[Richard Herd]] ([[List of Star Trek characters (N–S)#P|Owen Paris]]), Steve Rankin ([[Colonel Phillip Green|Colonel Green]] and other roles), and [[Casey Biggs]] ([[Damar (Star Trek)|Damar]]). He has joked onstage during conventions that he is the innovator of [[Klingon]] "gutbucket" music, and [[Andorian]] blues. |
