The After-concert report
woohoo..
Played for 3 hours straight.
With musicians I'd never met before.
In a place you can't find on a map.
And no, this didn't take place in my imagination.
There was a guitarist. (who has a great voice)
There was a guitarist with a banjo. (2nd place winner at so many international bluegrass competitions, he finally just stopped competing)
Then there was me. (lost)
I didn't know a single darned song they asked for the whole time. But, I just did whatever sounded good. From the deal, we decided that we're going to put a band together. Probably next week. Or the week thereafter.
What I got out of tonight: Free chuck steak. Free fries, and free 'drinks' on the house (I can't drive for squat after alcohol - I stopped trying to about 10 years ago). So, I had LOTS of pepsi.
Also, the band I played with in Phoenix, has started to regularly play for crowds of 4-5,000. Which is quite awesome news. If you don't know who they are, they're Dream Chemistry.
Places to go after I'm out of the Army:
Portland (Plan 1)
Phoenix (Plan 2)
Manhattan (KS) (Plan 3?)
*sigh*
Decisions, decisions...
