I started the week off by seeing U2 at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena with 96,000 of my closest friends.  I haven't been to a large show in years and this was fun but also got me thinking about my own musical situation.  I started playing music because I wanted to be in an original band and make my own music.  By the time I hit college I was a music major and decided to make a living as a working musician but try to keep my aspirations in rock music going and was able to do that for many years.  Now that I own a small business, have a family and all of the things that come with those situations my ability to create and play my own music has diminished in time and opportunity.  Most of my musician buddies are also busy making a living and our time for projects like my band "Felt" is hard to come by.  Seeing such a great show with some of my favorite music did happen to inspire me to try and write where I can steal the time...maybe at some point in the near future I can do another album.

    We started rehearsals up this week again with the Metropolitans with us finalizing our song list for our December 11th show and working through a few songs,  We are practicing Friday afternoons instead of late Thursday night and it is making us HUGELY more productive with less actual rehearsal time.  We were just too beat and tired to get much done that late at night after a full day of work.  One of the fun things we jammed on and added to the list was "Good Times Bad Times" by Led Zeppelin.  Even though I don't hear many bands around here playing it (or pulling it off for that matter) I think its going to be a great addition to our show...
