Here's the deal with the music. I've got a little two-man acoustic band, with a sometimes 3rd person.
In 2008, we performed weekly for aobut 6 months, running an "acoustic night" at a local place, where we did most of the playing. Stopped that about a year ago.
We've performed twice since - My wife asked for our 10th wedding anniversery in June for use to have a backyard party, and for us to play. The other time was the 4th of July, at a friend's bash.
We've talked for a long time about getting back out there and performing reguarly, getting some gigs, but it's been hard with as busy as we've both been. But it's crossed my mind that this fall might be a good time to push it.
What this does amount to is, every Thursday, we have practice, so I get out of the house and play.
By band buddy is single. He's got a 5-bedroom house packed with music gear. Just bought himself a new Gibson - always accumulating things. But - my other thought is, he's always going out watching people play. he has, and me somewhat by association, attched himself to the local music scene. So, I've thought about tagging along, but haven't caught him at a good time yet. So yes, that's something I've thought of.
There are free outdoor concerts around here - I've got another buddy who's in a local band that does some of these, actually. But yeah, that's a good idea LFA. I did a search a few weeks ago when I had the kids alone, but didn't find anything that particular day.
Come to think of it, I've got another group of friends that formed a band and is playing out - come to think of it, I made a lot of friends during that time we were playing, sort of a local music community.
