I play 4 instruments. I play violin cello, trumpet and french horn. And yes even with those talents I am not in a band.

Violin cello is a new one for me. What is that? A viola?

Actually, you forgot two. But then, who gives a fuck about an Oxford comma?

I played the Violin half a lifetime ago.

I bought a fairly good Yamaha keyboard recently and started playing piano again after about 5-6 years. Whenever I buy a house, I'll get my parents' baby grand. And I would, at some point, like to play bassoon again, but the cost puts that our of reach at the moment.

You could, however, be in a one-man-band ;)

Oxford comma: Violin, cello, trumpet, and french horn.
No Oxford comma: Violin, cello, trumpet and french horn.
I prefer the former, but don't care if others use the latter.

I was writing that as a joking answer to the question asked. That said, I was taught to use the non-Oxford comma version.

You were taught incorrectly. I hate that someone at some point decided to eliminate commas with no discernible benefit. ARGH.

For breakfast I like to eat pancakes, ham and eggs and orange juice. That shouldn't be correct punctuation.
