By the time we finished playing I just wanted to go home and get some sleep.
I feel sorry for you man . . . heartfelt condolences. Didn't you consider strong coffee if you could't stay awake?

I never had a problem, had girlfriends all thru high school. Not because I was in a band (I took up music late in life) but because I was of a few guys that wasn’t bashful on the dance floor. These lovely and delicate creatures, full of ribbons, curls, perfume and soft were literally intoxicating and overwhelmed any bashfulness I may have had.

I should have sued the Campbell Soup company for stealing my motto:
M’m, M’m, Good! smile

Miller suggests that under the conditions that would have existed throughout most of our evolutionary history in which music and dance were completely intertwined, musicianship/danceship would have been a sign of sexual fitness on two fronts. First, anyone who could sing and dance was advertising to potential mates his stamina and overall good health, physical and mental. Second, anyone who had become expert or accomplished in music and dance was advertising that he had enough food and sturdy enough shelter that he could afford to waste valuable time on developing a purely unnecessary skill.

For me there’s no better place in the band than to have one leg in the harmony world and the other in the percussive. Thank you Paul Tutmarc and Leo Fender.
