I had a great gig last night with the zydeco band Im in.....the people were appreciative
of the music, and it was alright. Truthfully, I wish the singing and soloing was better in this band, but it is sufficient!
Today I play in a new "unplugged" band at 10:00 AM...then travel and hour and a half to play at 1:00 PM with another band....my favorite guys I ever played with...two musicians, one drummer and the other a guitarist. He is one amazing musician!
If these guys were closer, I would be in a band with them. We play rock blues, like Texas style Stevie Ray Vaughan, (pictured above) Johnny Winter, Robben Ford type guitar slinger Blues.
For the next few weeks I play every weekend with the three bands Im in, and also teach later today and every Sunday at 6:00PM....at least the lady of the house also cooks me a meal....I'll probably be exhausted by that time of day!
I love music though...its very fulfilling and enjoyable...it gives me a fix that is like nothing else in my life.
Onward!
Checklist in hand.....

P.S. Stevie Ray Vaughan.....its hard to believe its been so long since his passing.....I cried for months when he was lost.

I'm with ya
I am a music lover too! I used to introduce myself as, "Hello, my name is Music." lol
Playing instruments is such a joy. I miss it. But maybe one day.
I used to teach. I tought for years. I loved the look on the face when the student understood or got it. That was a high too. Especially when they didn't see how in the world they'd ever do it.
Thanks for sharing.
