For years I dreamed of someday being in a band, this is going back as far as elementary school when I still didn’t even own an instrument. I acquired our first guitar when I was 13-years-old as well as practiced any opening I got. However, I never found a group of like-minded friends interested in starting a band, at least not until our early 30s. Sure, I had friends that played drums, bass, as well as keyboards, but they were all from weird friend groups as well as none ever expressed any interest in playing music collectively. Once I got to school as well as nothing materialized, I figured that our opening of playing in a band had long passed me. I still practiced whenever I had the chance, although I stopped thinking about playing in a real band by that point. This all changed when I formed a group of friends with a bunch of coworkers from our office because we’re all musicians. Incredibly enough, the two of us all have a number of bands that the two of us all appreciate mutually, so the two of us sort of fell into being a band after getting together at a single of our houses to play as a group a single evening. Now the two of us rent out a practice space at a nearby recording studio many to three times a month so the two of us can practice for our daily gig at the big tavern in our city’s industrial district. While some of the band members are not weed smokers, the bassist as well as I are romantic medical cannabis patients. Both of us recently started smoking cannabis with each other after our band practices as a way to unwind. It’s a good way to think satisfied as well as calm after a long afternoon of stress as well as hard work. I love playing music, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t require a lot of skill as well as concentration at the same time.
