FiftyFive ~ # 23
Last night I surrendered to cheerfulness and played all four of these in succession and my only wistfulness came from not being in the room with three others so we could knock out a few tunes together as we had once done. And sometimes those were the best gigs where the spontaneous taking up instruments and following the lead of someone who had a new song to air, or work out, or he had a verse with no chorus and we would finish the whole thing in five minutes. We once wrote a song ten minutes before going on to play a gig and rehearsed it in the back room before playing it live, complete with guitar parts and three part harmonies - rustic and rusty but such fun. Last night I was improvising on the banjo and it is such a cheerful instrument - even the blues has a nice ring to it. But this scene meets me smile:
