I don't have a band yet. I play guitar like a madman at a blues club downtown (Smokin' Joes) once a week. I'd really like to have a fan base, but I might not be ready, or they might not be ready. Hell.... I am ready...

Dog House Jam

Some times I play piano. When I play at the Blues Club sometimes people sit in with me. I try to record everything because these moments are unique.

A couple of weeks ago I played at the Blues Club with the boys in my band (well it's really Zech's band since he started it and directs it. I just play guitar....) but before we could play some other people were noodling around so I sat in at the piano. Ant, this kid who's a musician to the bottom of his feet, had a Strat he'd been working on. We picked back and forth trying to find something but I don't think the first tries were very good.

Really I only play one thing on the piano. It's a four chord walk down Em, D, C, B7 that repeats. Occasionally and unpredictably I add the Am in for good measure but Ant knows it as the walkdown. He usually plays base on it... Not today.

I really didn't get into it until Ronny sat in on the drums. Then we started burning up the place. I wish the piano went through it's own amp or the PA at least because it gets lost under the drums and guitar as the sound swells but the music was good. I like.
