  oh i forgot to mention... the other day at band practice Joe showed up. Joe's a *GREAT* guitar player, really fuckin good...he hung around and watched us practice a few songs and said "you guys rock", and that makes me feel good, cos i really respect his opinion about stuff like that. So i was on air about that for awhile. Actually, in general i feel much better in this band. I have something to look forward to, we all have a great time.
the music we play is great, stuff i always liked, and not the same set list thats been floating around for 7 years. oh wow, this is cool... reading through yesterday's register guard in the 20 below section there's an article about an interesting music school. i'll see if i can scare up a link for it
