Things Are Always Changing:

Yesterday, I drove the usual 125 mile (round trip) commute to band rehearsal. I don't mind the drive, really, but the stop & go traffic along every route I take, just makes the drive feel so much longer and farther than it really is. I also got the acoustic with the broken neck that I repaired back to it's owner, which frees up more space here in my music room. So, in the 2 hours I had to spend in the car, I did a lot of thinking while listening to old music from the 1980's.

As much as I love this current band and lineup, the commuting is really starting to get to me. For some reason, finding the 'right' musicians, means you may not find them locally - kinda like fresh produce - it's not always easy to find.

As it stands, with my job at the studio, I am commuting as much as 4 hours a day, and traffic is always bad. As much as I want to move away from that job completely, I am yet unable to replace the income from that position.

Just rambling....

I hear you brother traffic jamee. I have to drive straight through the heart of downtown LA, then to LAX everyday and back. With no major hold ups it's a 1.5 hour commute each way, every day. Mind you we're talking about Lost Angeles where there is rarely if ever a day with no major hold ups. So I leave my home at 6:30 am in order to arrive on time at work by 8:30 am. I get off work at 5pm and I'm lucky to be home by 6:45.

So Drive On my brutha, Drive on!!
