My Old Band....

Post by Bill Durham » Sun Nov 19, 2006 5:36 pm

Guys,

The band I played in from 1974-76 had a reunion the weekend of Nov. 4. We hadn't played together in 30 years! We took over a year to plan and schedule getting everbody together for 5 days of rehearsing, playing, hanging out etc. It was a great time to say the least. We rehearsed Thursday night and Friday and played a set for friends and family on Sat. afternoon. Here is one of the tunes....

Very good job on Statesboro Blues! I haven't listened to the rest, but great so far. I wish I could get my old bandmates back together once again, but we're too spread out for that.
Why is it we can remember where all the wires go, but can never find a pick?

Guys,

Thanks much for all the nice words. It was a blast, probably one of the best times of my adult life! Those are all good people.

Back when we played, there weren't any electronic kits!! It was all acoustic back then.. our drummer had a clear kit made by Zickos.. very wierd sounding drums! but they looked cool!

I suggest to any and all of you, if you have old band mates that you still stay in touch with... get it back together for one more round...

Just listened to the Bonnie Raitt cover. Good stuff again Bill. I would've never guessed we were 'homies'. :D
