We've played worse....

actually a LOT worse. laughing smiley For not having played in many months, and one practice, I was ok with how we did last night.

Also... it helps a lot to play for a lot of people literally starved for a night out, some entertainment, and lots of drinking. laughing smiley

It also helps to have grandsons, and some other young friends, to help unload and then reload all the equipment.... although - I'm actually SORE this morning, and not just a little sore but hurting. laughing smiley Got a blister, two of them actually, which doesn't surprise me having not played in so long.

sstrams - the 'voice'... not like it was Wednesday... but not bad either. But i didn't sing very much, we didn't play most of the songs I sing.

For the first time I used my iPhone while playing... bought a holder that mounts on my drum kit, (helps with some lyrics and also a metronome to set tempo)... but the best part about it was..... after one of the songs I sing I instantly got a text from my granddaughter, she's 16, saying something like, "You rocked that Papa"... to which I smiled, and then thought, "Hey, wait a second, this is a bar, how did you get in here?"..... she replied back that my daughter streamed it to her. laughing smiley

I did, however, notice several under 21's in the crowd... they serve food there so I don't the rules, maybe it's legal?

Ok, the best part..... had maybe 5 or 6 friends that I had not seen in several years show up... just to see us, and chat a little. Didn't take many breaks but I talked to them as much as I could but then after we finished, about 11:30, they all stuck around and we had a great time tipping a few and reminiscing. Well, actually I didn't drink.... I'm not as young as I used to be. laughing smiley
