Just back from a couple of days on the road... beginning to realise that it isn't just playing with the band and trying to be a better musician that matters. Playing (like many other things, no doubt) brings you into contact with so many great people...
Like the mum bringing along her 15-year-old guitar-playing prodigy (ex-Britain's Got Talent) to sit in with us... like the sax player whose conversation is impenetrably obscure and yet whose playing is soulful beyond all words... like the little boy wondering quite seriously why his blues-guitarist dad needs quite so many guitars... like the lone drinker in the audience who says there was one song we played that really "blew him away"...
The Shark Dentists have lots more gigs coming up... and lots more people to meet...
