Greg Plays Tonight!

If the rain holds out... Greg's band, EKG (The Erich Kraemer Group, which, I suppose, makes this technically not GREG's band, but Erich's) plays their first paying gig tonight! We're looking forward to going, although us old fogies aren't sure we'll hold up until the band starts at 10:30! They're playing at Wayne's Lanes in Woodstock, if you're interested in coming out and helping keep us awake until the band starts (and then I'm sure there will be no sleeping, with the volume of music -- although I'll let you know if my sleep-apnea-prone husband will try to defy the odds and nod off).

It's good to hear him playing with a band again, but we're itching (and he is too) for him to form a band that will play his music, with him singing lead. Playing lead guitar has been good for him, and playing with a group of older and more experienced musicians has been too, but that's not where he wants to be. As he has always been, he wants to be out front! (ALWAYS! Andy's baby videos are frequently interrupted with "Mom, Mom, Mom!") Soon, we hope. If you have a drummer, bass or keyboard-playing child or friend (18 or over), and they're looking to be in a band that has aspirations of making it big, not just goofing around, send me their contact info and I'll pass it along. Seriously.

And the other one... Andy said last night that he won't likely be in choir in his senior year, that he's only doing it his junior year to get to go on the Disney trip, which we suspected, but I really hope that this year catches his interest more than he says it does. He did audition for Madrigals -- big surprise to all of us -- and I think he really enjoys it more than he lets on, but we'll save that for later.

Next couple of days, I'll post some videos of tonight's show (I hope).
