I Think I’m At The Point Where...

[gush]

Make it an Earth Wind and Fire cover band am I’m in!

OH YEAH BABY!!!!!!!! Add in some Chicago and anything 70s with horns and I'm definitely in!!!!

Can I be the singer? I promise not to be an idiot diva singer.

 

[gush]

You had me right up to “includes wives and kids.”

I’m thinkin’ substitute “beer” in place of “wives and kids.”

Wives will drive you home and kids refill your beer.

Oh man, I understand this completely. I've been without a band for seven months and I'm really missing the high of playing live but not the lows of late nights, heavy gear and idiot diva singers. I have been thinking about a band that never gigs out but rather plays more of a structured get together that includes wives and kids.

We do this now and then at our studio. Holds up to 80 or more.
Too much fun, and low stress.

Then maybe I can be the idiot diva singer!

I mean, I can’t sing, but I’m great at being a diva.

Whaddaya say, guys?

As an added special side bonus-plus, I can play the accordion. Kind of a ‘Cajun Earth, Wind and Fire Thing, complete with a non-diva singer and a diva singer. The possibilities are awesome.

Well Les, that means we will need a loud guitar player and a not loud guitar player

I’ll bet one of each can be dug up around here!

I can do "not loud" great. I'm at my best when no one can hear me.

I not only feel that way about my guitar playing, I’m pretty sure no one wants to hear me play the accordion.

Only if I can be the bass player.

... I enjoy guitars more than being in a band.

The sweaty dudes, bass players, tracking drums, band photos, social media likes, artwork, smoke breaks, dinner breaks, hauling gear, planning, unrealistic expectations, grandiose dreams... I mean, it’s not them (the band), it’s me, I’ve been doing it too long, and I’m too cynical. I just can’t get pumped up for the big letdown anymore.

Is it okay if I just enjoy playing guitar by myself? Can I just be geeked about buying a guitar just for the sake of it, without having to do anything productive with it?

Yes! I genuinely find it to be a relaxing mental therapy for me after a long day at work.
