Tracking The Beard #1.

For a few weeks now, i've been growing my beard. I used to hear the expression "growing my beard for winter" when I lived in Denver and I always thought that was a cool idea. Even though we don't get winter weather conditions here, I thought it would be cool to adopt the idea anyway. So far, it's coming in a lot whiter than it did last time. Then again, last time Jojo was 1. It's gonna take awhile to grow it long enough to cover the holes.

Today is my first gig since i've been back from my trips. I'm gonna be at Elwood's for the first time in about a month or so. I'm sure i'm gonna be real rusty and achy afterward. Getting old sucks! I got this old snare drum from Harry Johnson's estate and I really like the tone of it. I've been playing it for a while. It has no name on it and the parts are really cheap. Everytime I bring it to a gig, it snaps a rod and I have to use another one but today I modified it with sturdier parts so hopefully that won't happen again.

It's been real nice being home the last 4 days. I've spent all my time with my family and I haven't had to do much running around. Friday, we bought "HELP!" and watched it. Kris talked me out of buying the deluxe edition which is real expensive. I didn't really want all the special crap that came with it so we did the right thing. There is so much cool stuff coming out for the holiday season music wise. I got my Amazon wish list workin'.
