No Rehearsal

There was actually no rehearsal today. We all went, set up the gear but due to the fact that we all didn't get any music to listen and learn prior to meeting up today, it wouldn't have been productive at all to even attempt playing anything. So the plan was, get the music this evening, learn the songs and ROCK OUT tomorrow.  Hmmmm, easier said than done. Though I know most of Tessanne's old material, I'm clueless on the new stuff and I've only received three songs via email up to this point and I'm going to bed shortly. So, tomorrow will be interesting. I will learn the songs in the morning, whatever the amount is in my mailbox tomorrow, I'll try and get through them.

I stopped by my dad's house today, Salim (my eldest son) was with me. We chatted with him for a while about exercise and getting in shape. Then he got a phone call that when he was done talking to the person on the line, I thought I was the one who just came off the phone. He was saying pretty much the same stuff I said in my blog last night - bills, his age, need to do other things besides music.

Then I began thinking, are we all destined do follow in our parents' footsteps? I doubt it. So is it that just like when we were kids and learned by mimicking our parents we do it in adulthood as well, subconsciously putting ourselves in the same situation because that's what we've learned to do?...Sounds possible, but I doubt that too.

Breaking the pattern is always an option. Life has many options, you just have to put yourself in the mindset to see them.  .... I'm actually reaffirming myself by saying that. I have to.

With that said, I bid you all a good night or day wherever you are, peace be with you.
