waitingmanThe rain stopped some time overnight. Things are slowly drying out, including me
Revisiting old video footage of various gigs I've done with various bands over the years ~ transferring them to DVD before we consign our current DVD/VCR to the electronic graveyard. Some good songs, some bad ones, some good moments, some howlers. Nothing I'm particularly 'proud' of... these DVDs will sit in a dark corner of the Archive, quietly & deservedly gathering dust. I think the work I'm doing now, on the World's Longest Album Project is much better, personally, than what I saw on those tapes, but I'm sure I thought I was doing my best work back then too...
I certainly don't view my musical past through rose-tinted glasses. Maybe some of my former band-mates think those were the 'glory days', now that they're settled down, married, mortgaged & parented... Just don't expect me to attend any 'getting the band back together' 50th (or 40th) birthday parties...
