Road Tripping

I am road tripping to Milwaukee with my drummer buddy Jon and we are going to rock a wedding with the country band, DRIVEWAY THRIFTDWELLERS. Tomorrow we are road tripping up to Minocqua to play a putatively awesome Halloween party at the Minocqua Brewing Company and I am really geeked to be road tripping and rocking. Jon is a great drummer and this band is awesome too. I actually feel like I have to up my bass and vocal practice to maintain the proper performance quality this band deserves. But then we have band practice and I realize everyone is struggling with the material too and feels similarly like they have to up their game. Collectively, I think that is a good thing. We are all giving it our all and that is the stuff that awesome, successful bands are made of.
