Funked Up

Busy week, a friend passing, a serious sickness (of which I'm still getting over), a recital for our students at the music store, work, rehearsals....

Tonight there was an electric storm floating through the county. I stood at the edge of the ocean and watched as several bolts of lightning fought violently with the earth every minute. It was a sight to behold.

Gary Drysdale was on this gig, and he's probably one of the most knowledgeable and shreddingest guitar players in the county. It's a little intimidating to play with him, cause I don't think my chops are up to his standard.

But it went well. I focused and held on real well, only getting lost twice. I played some good solos that brought the house down. Darryl kicked ass as usual on the drums. He's great to play with, I think we lock and vibe pretty well. He keeps calling me for gigs so I imagine he thinks the same. He's a real pro.

Still trying to get to 100%. I'm about 75% myself right now. Which means I'm 25% someone else? I don't know.

I do know that quitting smoking sucks. Especially when you're sick...
