It's a good gig to end on. It's my nieces wedding at my sisters house just down the road. ¼ mile. Just set up my drum kit... rest of the band will set up in an hour or so.

It will be 'extremely' casual... lot of musicians in my family so a lot of guest appearances... many of them solo, so we can kick back, drink beer, socialize... won't be anything like a normal gig.

Nice to be able to set up my drums in the heat, sweat profusely, then be able to come home and shower before we play. laughing smiley

Also... two of my family member musicians are drummers... well, sort of... they're good enough, I plan on having them sit in for me often. laughing smiley

Been wondering... I never 'choose' our songs so no way to know but I'm very curious what will be the very last song I play with this band? If I could choose, (they won't let me), I'm not sure what I'd choose.... probably the song we've been doing the longest although off the top of my head I don't know which one that would be. We need a 'riding off into the sunset' song. laughing smiley If they choose one of the songs I 'detest' I'm going to throw a sharp broken drum stick at them. laughing smiley

So, my final post as a member of a band..... well, unless something comes up that is. You never know. laughing smiley

Signing off as a band member, drummer... Happy Trails!!!!

Wow, Jimmy... it's gonna be hard, I know, but perhaps easier since you'll be among family. And... you never know what opportunities could be around the bend. Keep those sticks handy just in case and enjoy tonight. It'll be memorable, I'm sure.

By the way, I kinda like Happy Trails as the last song!
