Keep Playing That Rock 'n Roll...

 

If you said, "Edgar Winter's White Trash, 1971," you get 40 bonus points.  Some of the lyrics: 

Keep playing that rock and roll
Keep doing what you've been told
Save your money up for when you get old
Got to keep playing that rock and roll

Well, I have the "get old" down pat.  ;-)  I may have to work on that "doing what you've been told" and the "saving up my money" parts.  Mark, Ron, and I are playing out next week.  We were invited to play for a Memory Care group, both patients and their care-givers (a once a month gathering).  It will be our first time playing out as a trio.  I haven't played in front of anyone since Covid (although there were a bunch of "stayin' home" music videos.

Today, we worked on fine-tuning a set list.  Fortunately for me, it was at our place, so I didn't have to drive (or deal with traffic).  I had equipment set up in my music room, trying to make it easy for everyone...

 My Bose PA, amps, microphones, and guitar options were ready before the guys got there.  Mark brought a couple of his guitars and a pedal board.  We spent about 4 hours rehearsing for what will likely be an hour or so of playing out.  Joining us today, as an "unbiased" set of ears, was Tom, another one of our music buddies.

 That's Tom on the right, Ron in the center, Mark on the left; I was sitting at that desk (where I do my recording).  I anticipated a couple hours... I missed that by a couple hours.  Still, a good time, and a purpose.
