I was visiting my 94-year old grandma over the weekend, and I thought I'd show her some video of me and my band. After a couple minutes, she looked at me with sorrow in her eyes and said with all sincerity, "I love you honey, but I just don't understand this new music." Johnny B Goode (cover) - YouTube |

I have a very good friend in his late seventies who shares her view. He doesn't get the ""wild" music that I'm playing. (I play hand percussion in an acoustic trio and an an acoustic duo.) I guess that I'm just a wild kid. (In my fifties...)

Cute, very cute!

- the only thing that worries me sometimes is that I'm starting to think the same about some of the recent stuff I hear. But I guess that's the way it goes, hehe.

| | | | On the other hand, while looking at a property the other day, this gal in her mid 60s wandered over from her property (ranchettes) to see what I was doing and I noticed her Clapton shirt. Well, she proceeded to explain how her and a buddy went to his recent show in the bay area, bought some weed laced brownies and had a good time. Rock on lady. |

Ages ranged anywhere from 20's and waaay beyond. Each of those shows were very cool and everyone totally got into it. It felt more like we were giving them a mini concert than just a pub gig.

came up to me and said that was their favorite song. One said,
"That's real rock n' roll!"  |
