Oh, he plays the rock songs OK if a little too 'laid back', but it's the 'jazz style' random kicks/accents that are weird. I guess I was really spoiled by the one guy I worked with offandon for 35+ years. He and I were in synch most of the time. Really great musician and person. RIP.
I s'pose I'm just venting a little frustration over relatively little things-both musically and otherwise. As it currently stands, we don't have another gig 'til 1/7, by which time I might be in a better frame of mind.
Or not.
