the harpy kicks ass!

tonight i went out and got togerther with my friends who have a every other thursday jam nearby.i played 4 songs with them and i dont think i have played that good in 20 years!
it was all good old rock n roll.
rock and roll by zeppelin
all right now by free
great balls of fire by jerry lee and one other one.
i played so good they want me there every time now .
i am also going to be playing on and off sitting in with thier real band when they play on weekends.they knew my pain and they were great about it,.
i only played in the past with one of them kevin hanna on bass and he was so good to play with again despite all the guitarists and other players.before we went on this band of pre teen kids went on and man were they good!
they had a 12 year old kid on keyboards and steel guitar and they did "nights in white satin" as good as the moody blues ever did it.i was elated!
i met people i had only heard of through sessions and it was a great time.a non christianight although many asked about my cds and all i didnt push it.they all wanna hear it.this was what god wanted me to do.you all would have been proud of me because the minuite i knocked the band into 'honkey tonk woman" it was apparent id wasted time in my past playing with people who never let me rock out.
i had so much fun!
i will be playing all the time now.sadly some of them knew about jeff but they were not cruel at all and they said how sorry they were.
now the fun part.i met a gal.she knew me from over twenty years ago..i knew her too but i could not remember from where not did i ever recall it.
i gave her one kiss and then when she asked me to dance i said no.
she felt bad but i have certain ways i must live by and i couldnt do what she wanted me to do.
oh welp.
then i met another woman i knew years ago who understood my position.we are going to be frieends and email each other.she never goees anywhere other then the club we were at which is a giant renovated barn we used to fill back in the 70s when were big when i had electric blue together.
the old days!
i met a guy nick who i knew but had never played with and he told me all about how tough it was when he was in nashville.but he nearly made it there.he said i would need allot of strenth to be there full time.im too old for all that.let me tell ya..during 'rock and roll" by zep my arm nearly fell off!it had been over 20 years since kevin and myself played together and it was like an hour.the best bass player i have ever been with smiled at me and said 'good man!"
what more can i ask for?
now im sure some of you would think i am crazy for passing up a good night in bed with a woman.thats life.im a christian.I AM NOT ALLOWED TO ACT LIKE THAT!

now a funnier one.there was a guy bill marson who used to write great songs who i knew back then and played with.
i mentioned him and kevin said to nicky 'you wanna tell him?"
and nick said bill changed his way./i was like what???
he is gay? they said nope.hes a woman now.my god! anyways i am going to be doing all his songs because he sure wouldnt want em bnow.maybe hes a female singer now?
cripes!
that is the life and the harpy has indeed spoken!
if the chief wills it..then his work is done.

if a person wills it,then the work is work....
