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 earned my first guitar when I was 13-years-old and practiced any chance I got.
However, I never found a group of like-minded friends interested in starting a band, at least not until my early 30s. Sure, I had friends that played drums, bass, and keyboards, however they were all from unusual neighbor groups and none ever expressed any interest in playing songs collectively. Once I got to school and nothing materialized, I figured that my chance 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 my office because we’re all songsians. Incredibly enough, the two of us all have a number of bands that the two of us all love mutually, so the two of us sort of fell into being a band after getting together at 1 of our houses to play as a group 1 evening. Now the two of us rent out a practice space at a nearby recording studio more than one to many times a month so the two of us can practice for our weekly gig at the crucial tavern in our city’s industrial district. While some of the band members are not weed smokers, the bassist and I are passionate medical cannabis patients. All of us recently started smoking cannabis with each other after our band practices as a way to unwind. It’s a superb way to believe gratified and calm after a long afternoon of stress and strenuous work. I love playing songs, however that doesn’t mean it doesn’t require a lot of skill and concentration at the same time.
