In 1975 I played in a band with 3 friends, we never "hit the big time" although we worked very hard. For two years we did nothing but playing, we did a lot of gigs, some disastrous, some very good. After two exhausting years the band fell apart and we all went to do "normal" things, like working and starting a family.
We are still friends, and lately we have developed the habit of coming together once a week, we drink a cup of coffee, talk about our grand children, and then we get our guitars and play some blues,rock,country whatever we feel like playing.
One of the guys got himself this digital camera, and he sometimes record these sessions.
Anyone who wants to see us playing, here is a YouTube link, we play a blues improvisation.

Sounds great-there's nothing like getting together with old bandmates and getting the old groove back on.
