Can't Wait To Get Home...

...to play my bass! Saw the pics of guys playing at the top of the page, and the urge hit me. Plus, we have practice tonight. Woohoo!! Does it ever hit you like that? Sometimes when at home it hits me when I'm doing something else, or just sitting watching TV. Gotta go play music. When I was a kid it was like that, too. I think it's the very reason I learned to play. HAD TO!! Recently, I met an old friend who says he hasn't been playing for years. I'm like, how can you NOT play? It's a hunger to me, more than just desire, it's almost a sickness. I remember sitting on my Mama's lap banging the piano. At 13 came guitar and clarinet. At 15, bass. Can't get enough.

I know some of yas feel the same way. Ain't it great?!

Worst time was when I was flying a 17 hour mission in the Middle East and the urge to play bass hit me like a ton of bricks. Longest deployment ever

Heh, heh, we're all sick, eh? Well, the wind blew the roofing off my porch yesterday, with some shingles just laying up there turned up. What a mess, and a serious thing, too. Rain coming soon. Yikes! What to do, what to do? Uh...

Had to play my Jazz for an hour before getting started. Couldn't control it, nope.

Sick, I tell ya. Been sick for 61 years.
