play my bass more

Got a chance to jam with some friends during National Night Out. We played for about an hour in a garage with a standing room only crowd of about 20 neighbors. Made up things as we went along, kids were dancing, got a couple of blisters on my fingers, had fun – doesn’t get much better. Just need to find a way to do this more than once or twice a year.

I stopped playing my bass (basses, actually, as I have collected a few over the years) about a decade ago. About six months ago I got a chance to help out some teenagers in a jazz band and it got me playing again. I also attend a jam session once in a while. Suddenly I am playing more, the fingers are gaining strength and I occasionally just pick up the darn thing and play. Need to stay on this goal for a while so I continue the good trend.
