Can of Worms

Look how good i am doing. post number two. tonight i played with my brothers band at the battle of the bands concert. they won last year and so this was the 'returning' band performance or something of that sort. and it was fantastic!! i loved playing, the rush of being on stage, of focusing and not choking (not literally, i wasn't eating, just afraid of suddenly forgetting where a g# was or something like that), and i really enjoyed sharing the moment with my brother. I don't really know where the balance is for a healthy ego boost and narcisstic self-adoration, but it was great to see how things came together, and though my part was small, just backup and a couple of scale licks, it sounded really good (or so i am told because i couldn't hear myself). All this leads me to say I want to start a band. there is something so intoxicating about being able to express yourself through music, whether through words or just a beautiful line of melody. So i guess i don't really want a band, though i love the idea of a collaborative group being able to combine all their talents and ideas to produce a finished piece, i just want to play.
