I had such a good time at the open mic I was subbing in. This, despite the fact that I thought I played poorly, and some of the jams I ended up in were not real musical.

It was one of those situations where there was a great feeling of comraderie among the musicians. The first song we played, Link Wray's Rumble, went right off the rails, with the lead guitarist and I getting out of synch on the changes. 

But we did manage a killer version of the Young Rascals' Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore, which I get to sing the lead on. I had read an article about their Broadway show, and knew this song from forty-eight years ago.  

I drank more than usual, too. I kept hearing the Kinks' song, Alcohol, playing in my head. Hit that link now. He sounds just like I felt (not the content of the song, just the tone).

There good moments, some not-so-good moments, but it was one of those nights where the smiles and laughs were more memorable than the music.

That's okay, too.
