Rockin' in and out of it all.

I was quite happy for the opportunity to jump into another band's set tonight to help cover for their missing bassist. I was no doubt far from the quality they were used to but they seemed quite happy with what meager improvised elements I provided. The greater joy tonight, however, came in watching the latest incarnation of my former band play. They have my replacement bass player but also have a new drummer and they have certainly carved a new niche for themselves. It was, of course, a bit of a sting to not be a part of such a delightful experience from the inside... but it was also an honor to enjoy it as a participator from the outside. And I look forward to seeing their future successes as the years move on.
