I don't even have the excuse that I was out playing with a band or anything like that. Just working and playing at home.
Which reminds me - I really need to find a band. You can only jam by yourself with headphones for so long. I miss being up on stage. My poor Bongo has never been up under the lights!
Thanks Tom--you answered the question for me. I was primarily interested in shedding the "newbie" tag.....I can handle being a "junior"; it reminds me of the junior woodchucks: Huey, Dewie, Louie, and Fred.
