What a Birthday!


Birthday cake(Red Velvet), balloons with helium, decorations and presents--not to mention all the fellow musicians Stephanie dragged away from homely comforts to attend our Sunday jam at the Junction in Port Angeles. Do I feel honored? Yes! Do I feel older? Not hardly! I feel lucky, as the song goes, and grateful for all the good things that have come our way recently. Had a great conversation with Kim, who also has a November birthday, of Deadwood Revival about just such things that night. I remember an interview with John Lennon where he talked about all the work involved with being a musician that never seemed like work when he was doing it. Paul McCartney disagreed, but I prefer Lennon's attitude. Maybe I should lie down and let this optimism pass, but not just yet. Another good thing about the weekend was that both sons came home from Seattle where they go to school. How can they be young adults already? When did that happen? There's something about nineteen or twenty that is the same as it was in 1973, but that's another post altogether. More on that later....
This Friday we're at Michael's Divine Dining in Port Angeles. The food is mouth-watering and not to be missed. The music is not half-bad either--new songs too!
