Country music

Last night, and last weekend, I brought my guitar out to the country. A short 20 minutes from my place, my friend/co-worker Steve lives in Agua Dulce, which is refreshingly rural in comparison with my desert-suburban apartment in Canyon Country. Last weekend was dinner then jam session with Steve on drums, Peter on bass, and Lixian on percussion/audience. Last night was a pseudo-Halloween party (costumes optional) with cookout, volleyball, karaoke, and jam-karaoke. Playing music with other musicians--what a novel concept! So different from piddling away on my guitar while sitting on the ottoman in my apartment. While we're far from sounding good, we are certainly having fun with our instruments.
