Time

Haven't posted in almost a week, though I'm not sure it's been missed. Lots of fun things happened over the weekend! The funk band I play keyboards in played a St. Patrick's day show in an apartment building on Friday that got crazy, we were unfortunately shut down partway through our set. Thankfully I got to DJ a lot of the party which was fun, even got to use vinyls! I need a real DJ booth though, the dancing and jumping made the vinyls bounce too much and the records skipped.  The party went till 5am, which might be a new record for me for DJing. The guitarist for Kid Cudi was there and we ended up jamming out to Chic tunes and more, there was a snare drum and cowbell I played on.  It was very fun.
Saturday involved playing in a new Jazz band that a few friends formed, it was really fun and looks promising, we might do some shows! After that went to the KCRty which was sparsely attended but still very fun.  It was a good night overall, but Sunday left me very tired though I got to do an interview with Spec about WKCR and WBAR which was cool.  I'm usually the one interviewing others so it was cool to be on the other side of things.
Playing music with others is both the best way to learn and experience music, there's really nothing in the world like it.  It's good for fun, happiness, body and soul.  You should try it sometime.

Here's a song I've always wanted to play with people, Showdown by ELO. ELO is very underrated.
