Its the end of the world as we know... and I feel fine. The band was the Insomniacs, and I played with them in college. It had played in bands before. Rubber Nurse was one. It was a great band; less focused on becoming famous and more on just having fun. The Insomniacs were a little different, however. Not so much obsessed with becoming famous as trying to make the best music possible. Sometimes we were close, and other times we were not. I still remember standing on stage with that band and thinking... "This is it. I am gonna think back some day and remember just how great this was!" I can honestly say that I tried to enjoy it will all I had.
I play big band Jazz and some combo stuff now. It is more compatible with my life. (Starting a gig at 9:30 is not something one does with 2 small kids at home, a day job and... well... a few more years under the belt. Not that I am responsible... just getting older and being responsible tends to take a bit less energy, I guess.
I just wonder... someday will I think back about my life today and remember just how great this is?
That's all for now.
