Ages upon ages ago, I went to a concert with my father for the very first time in my life. It was awesome and huge, and I watched Jethro Tull for the first time in my life! I had found an addiction that I have to say I fell in love with!
As soon as I was able, I was attending as many musical events as I could. I would go see metal bands and punk shows, and anything that I dug that I could get to. When I started driving, it obviously made things a little easier for me. There is an energy to live music that I wanted so desperately to be part of. I finally started working on writing my own shit after playing keyboards for a band when I was in high school. It wasn't much, but it was mine.
The problem was, I am very creative in my head, but I have always lacked a certain talent with musical instruments to properly articulate what I really wanted to do. I improved a lot from the start, but eventually had to admit that it was a fun hobby that was never going to get me anywhere. I needed to make a decision to focus on something that I was good at. I gave up the music and focused on my writing.
I miss it, but I realized these past few weeks that I missed just going out to the shows and enjoying the music. I used to go to at least 2 clubs a week just to dance, and then I would see live shows when they came around. But I seem to have lost that. Now, I find myself really wanting to get out there again and live it again!
I have an old friend to thank for this... and so, here's his CD for his band... He does the guitar work and is amazing at it! I strongly endorse this band and I hope you will at least check them out... if it;s your thing. Because seriously, some people just don't dig music this intense!
