As a displacement activity I've been in GarageBand pretty frequently recently.
I have a good deal of music equipment to hook up to GB including:
In other words, I have it all except any shred of talent. I'm sure there's some poor dude working at Starbucks playing on pots and pans who is the next Beethoven, c'est la vie. I have fun anyway, sorry man.
I recently read an article where a guy actually used GarageBand to record a studio-quality album when he was up in the air about his record contract. I think that's cool.
In any case, if anybody has something cool they've made on their PC that they'd like to share, I'd be into hearing it. ;-) I don't care if you think its crap , I'm in the same boat ...
