I don't have a physical photo album here or at home, and I nowhere close to my mom's or grandmom's collections, so I'm forced to glean from tagged photos of me on Facebook.
This picture of Kenny and I playing Rock Band was taken by either my girlfriend Casey or Kenny's ex, Larissa on New Year's Eve. As background, I played music in bands pretty much all through high school and even a little bit in college, but eventually I became way too busy for it. I still play guitar (sometimes) but it's nowhere near the level I was at before my Freshman year. I wonder how much "skill" I have left?
I was listening to some of my favorite metal albums for the last prompt, and it occurred to me how much the "good" music I know and love has been missing from my life. I really feel like I need to start playing in a band again, if not to make actual music to cover my favorite tunes and feel the camaraderie of being in a band again.
This picture, taken less than a year ago on a New Year's Eve, sums up best where I am in my musical life- drunk, singing, and playing rock band with people who have absolutely no idea how music is played. Sorry, Kenny.
