Off to Rehearsal

I leave in about 4 hours for Sacramento to spend the week rehearsing with The Strawmen for this Saturday's show in Eugene.  I'm sure it's going to be a very full week and I thought it would be fun to try and capture something of the experience in this blog.  I'm taking my camera, so I'll do my best to take some snaps and make some entries to let everyone know how it's going.  I know you're all very interested :-). We're pretty excited about it.  Not only do I get to play music, which is something I love. . .I get to do it with my brother and other friends who feel like brothers to me.  We've all known each other a long time and have been through "stuff" together.  Oddly enough, it's the "stuff" that cements relationships.  I'm just now starting to realize that and accept it a little more graciously.  I could lament the fact that it's taken me so long to grow up and realize basic facts about life like this. . .but I'm just grateful it's happening this side of the grave.
