Trying to start a band
I got approached a couple weeks ago about starting a band with someone I had jammed with. He's a guitarist as well and president of a local blues society. He said he really liked my playing. We started talking and found we had a lot of similar tastes in blues, so we're now trying to get some players together and get something going. I guess our genre would be Geezer Blues.
It's exciting. I haven't posted about it due to not wanting to jinx it, but hey. Seems like we're lining up some people who want to do it: drummer, harp, maybe a bassist. I'm beyond flattered, since I really just started playing out a couple years ago and have never considered myself any great shakes. However, I do love playing the blues live. The other guitarist and I have played out together at several jams, and the sound and the chemistry are pretty good so far.
I'll keep everybody posted!

I just saw somewhere a mount that holds your guitar and attaches to a walker. Maybe that would help too.I'll need a case of that stuff if I wanna play out.
