Garage Band Drummer

One year to the very day of my getting my first drum set, EO played it's first party (We SUCKED!) But for some reason people liked us. I can remember causing a train wreck in about the third song. Picture this if you don't know what a train wreck is: You're on stage in front a couple hundred people; it's your first time ever being there and you're praying that you can remember how to play all the songs; then something catches your eye and you loose your concentration for just one second; You've lost your place in the song; you go to the wrong part and everyone in the band turns around and looks at you; this is not a good feeling at all. Later on a fight broke out on the first original song we played. Through all that we played on. A couple of weeks later we added an additional guitar player. From this we pushed on playing clubs, parties, or wherever we could when we could.

The band finally broke up like 2 years later, but the three of us still hung in there for awhile until one the woman I would one day marry didn't want me traveling so much just to practice, so I quit my band. I've played in many bands since that day. I even made it down to Orlando and lived down there for a while and worked for an A-Circuit band as stage manager. But I regret the day I walk out on my band.

It's kind of funny how life works out sometime because now I'm working for Jtk and we still share the dream to once again do what it is we love: to make music for the sake of making music.
