Getting the band back together...

Well, for the day.

Today was a real treat for me: we got together with Mark & Cindy Lamkin, and Randy and Cindy Peters.  Randy and I played in bands together starting when we were 13 years old.  Mark and I played in bands through high school and college, and in a duo (piano, guitar, vocals).  These guys were a big part of my formative years.  And today, we were all three together for the first time in about 4 decades.

Mark is a very talented keyboard player; Randy is a great singer and guitar player.  Mark hadn't played piano in quite a while, but bought a keyboard this past week... apparently, it is like riding a bike - he sounded as good as I remember.  Randy is just a natural at whatever instrument he picks up.  I did my best to not hold them back.  And, it was a blast.

We took turns with "Do you remember this one?"... and encouraged and followed each other.

Yes, both playoff games were on - we were able to multi-task...

We played well into the evening.  Acoustic guitars and an electric keyboard without a lot of aux amplification - no worry about disturbing the neighbors.  ;-)

Mark and Cindy ordered pizza.  We brought bundt cakes (mini) for dessert.  I worked up an appetite with all that music.  ;-)

It was great to see old friends!  And, of course, make some music.
