Band Work

OK. When I started this blog I didn't have a band to play in and now I do. Zech and Ron and Mikey are some guys from Smokin' Joes I've played with. Zech asked me to play guitar for them and I was quite overwhelmed by their faith in my ability.

It's been an experience being in a band. I've never, in the 40 plus years I've played, actually played lead in a band. It's a trip. We've worked up a few songs and have played out at open mic nights. We're hoping to get some paying gigs for the summer in Alex Bay. That would be cool. I don't think we've got our song list together yet, but we've got some interesting tunes.

My daughter taped us the other night at Smokin' Joe's doing Midnight Rider and Black Magic Woman. We also do a version of Come Together I really dig, but I haven't got that posted to u tube yet. (The one that's posted isn't very good... not like the new versions).

The biggest problem with the band is that it has an expiration date.

Maybe I'll carry on after Zech goes to florida and build a real blues band... "I'm Better off With the Blues."
