ever lose your groove?

[steelhead2]

due to ALL sorts of family schtuff going on i only practice mechanically now(while my mind catagorises all the issues)

kids are grown but they split from hubbys move back home(with GKids witch i love for shure but hey!; 2 of them came home this year=hasn't been the same `groove thang")

wife is scheduled to paint her mothers house,help the sis-n-law do an estate sale for passed father inlawblahblahblah

everybody's plate is completly covered with`to-do's'

man it's only 245 to Honolulu one way from Portland bet it's nice laying out under those palm trees in the sand,Elvis singing in the background(yeah right)

(sigh) hope i get back to where i can just relax and play out anything i want and create anything i want(almost wish it was the dead of winter again)

ok that's the spam,,,,,,,,no i'm not whining(wine yes) but somehow i'm not having the fun/joy/love i once was(when i strap on),now it's like i practice out of spite while my mind goes ugly and i should be thinking joyous thoughts/love for family members

ok just an abstract `off-topic' thought here,dang! maybe i should go back to dwinking beer instead of wine,ok give me a keggar!

(sorry for all the wind,stuck here babysitting) i liken playing bass to=mechanical/organic,,in a paralel world it would be like the treble strings versus the bass strings,,,ya can practice all the written musical notes(stiffly as you pay attention) or just let it flow out and expound upon what you are playing.AKA creativity

in other words i'm like cardboard instead of silk,,,i'm,,uh? i'm uptite!(that's it!) dad used to used to use that term back in the 60's,,ok,thanks for the therape''' now to get these gkids calmed down(house is LOUD,i'm losing IT as well as jamm time)

here kids! want some grape juice!!?
