Jim Plays the Blues
Long ago and far away (well, it was 30+ years ago, but it was right around Roselle...) my husband Jim played guitar in a band. I never got to see him play because I was still in grade school when he started. And I lived in Kansas.
The band played local shows and consisted of people he met while going to Driscoll Catholic High School. Jim didn't stay with the band; he went on to a career in engineering.
I have a picture of him playing back then and he was adorable. He plays guitar most nights and I think he plays wonderfully.
But it was nothing compared to seeing him play LIVE! We found out some of his old band mates were playing at a nearby party, so we went to see them. When we got there they ask Jim to play with them.
He doesn't think he did so good playing the blues, but we (the boys and I) thought he did a great job. It was fun seeing him in a completely different element.
And, hey, I finally got to go home with someone from the band!
