What IF YouR Tiniest DreamS... Became a RealitY... 😊
I see her often — she's my youngest . I hugged her a couple of weeks ago and asked her what was new. She smiled and said to me, "Pa, there's this show next Saturday, at the club," she works there part-time. "Mario, the drummer, asked me to join them for a few songs in their set. We practised — it worked."

But then, she tripped me up. My eyes widened.

"Mario wanted to know if YOU felt like playing drums for a couple of songs. 'Creep' and another by the Chilli Peppers — 'Under The Bridge'.

"Are you kidding?" I said yes — in a split second.

It was past eleven, and that small club was packed and buzzing. The band got up on stage and powered through their set, then Mario introduced my ... and welcomed me up to the kit.

In my time, I've played for crowds of thousands, but to say I was a bit nervous — in front of THAT low ceiling — would have been an understatement. My has a powerful voice and has recorded with numerous groups. I wasn't worried about her — I was hoping that I wouldn't fuck up.

BOTH songs kicked so much fricken ass. So pure, with crystal clarity and a perfect mix. Such a smooth beat for a drummer to trip off and a great vibe to get blown away on. But...

The thing was, I was backing up MY — the spotlights were on her; I was smashing out the beat. A couple of hundred people cheered wildly, and her fans and friends screamed. I had a lump choking my throat and had a hard time focusing on anything but hitting my marks. The sound was heart-thumping through-the-soul epic, and my ears were fricken numb and ringing as I walked off the stage.

It was a buzz of a lifetime. DAMN, did it kick ass! Those two songs are legendary and I was so proud of her; but I'm thrilled that I didn't drop my sticks. I guess you had to be there. Life is short.

Drive fast, carry a double-kick in your 'overnight', and fuck the rest. 😎❗

Do you prefer big venues or small clubs?

 I miss performance bars and live bands and listening to musicians bend their hearts out to a welcoming crowd. 😎❗❗

I'll die with a pair of sticks in my car. I'll make sure to hit that cement wall at two hundred without those seatbelts... holding me back...
There's no 'Old Folks Home' in my future.

The Light is shinning and she is lonely and waiting in the darkness.

 That sounds like such an amazing experience for both of you. I would have loved to be in the audience, I love music.

 One of the best feelings in the world is sharing experiences with your kids and watching them shine.

 That sounds quite a night. You clearly are an accomplished drummer.
I once saw Status Quo at a festival and the drummer dropped a stick but he carried on brilliantly with one stick.

Listening to a live band is always soothing. I imagine, when things settle down for you, you might find some peace in a melody at a club? Or do you like live bands? ðŸĪ”

I hope, when you feel better, you'll be able to enjoy live music in your favorite spot. Do you have one? ðŸĪ”

I'll betcha there's a bar or hangout in your neck of the woods that you visit from time to time? Do you have a favorite type of music you like?

I've been to your city and there are a lot of bars with live bands. Do you (did you, BEFORE that bug), go to any of them?

With your family growing up, you know about THOSE feelings! 👍 😊
Can you imagine — when your daughter is old enough — going to a bar and watching a band with her? 😎❗❗

We've shared a ton of epic nights, but I, was always the one on that stage.
I always have spare sticks strategically placed, just in case I drop one. It's not that hard to play with one hand... if the beat isn't too wild.
That concert you saw sounds like a classic.
Are the bars opening up across the pond? ðŸĪ”
Or is that your style?

 Lovely story. 🎞

I do miss live music. My favorite venue for many years was First Avenue. These days, I have to admit I gravitate more toward someplace where i can sit for at least part of the show.

Our bars opened up in August; so far so good!
