Hi Kenny,
Thanks for the listen. May I ask what kind of place you play at once a week? The live group Jan & Ted I gig with are going to learn this song and Jan (female vocalist) will do her rendition of it. I am looking forward to that.

Rimshot,
I was playing between 2 to 4 nights a week regularly w a few local groups since June up until recently when I decided to put the brakes on being in bars and clubs so much
a big reason why I haven't been around this forum for a while
I'm just outside of Portland OR in South West Washington , this area has somewhat of a thriving local music scene .
a local band of three long time members hosts a music night on the same night every week
at a club that has a full sized stage w lights . the place it self can hold up to about 250 people
25+ to maybe 50+ is about the amount of folks that usually show up for on off night
i show up as a featured guest and play an hour long set with house band as a member for this night
this is the set that kicks the night off
i really enjoy playing w these musicians . we do mostly Classic Rock , Blues and Country
not as covers , but as a vehicle to play songs that people can relate too as we burn
the guitarist sings , he is an excellent guitar player all styles lead and rhythm ,
he respects me , I respect him . we never step on each others toes and we feature lots of guitar solos lol
I love playing w him
the other members are a solid bass player and solid drummer . both good players
after our set ,
other full self contained bands might come up on the stage to do a set or some of the jammers will put together a group so they can get to play
anybody who wants to play will get to play
a good time is had by all usually & it's all pretty much low pressure situation
have a good one it has been nice talking with you
Kenny
