Anyway, I was elected to drive him to find his car. Unfortunately my cassette player was busted and although I had just received an advance from the record company I was trying to be smart. Bad decision because now I can't play him anything. File it under the list of things I should have done. But then again it was a great lesson to NOT play it safe and to risk everything.
Bands are safe, being a piano player in one is even safer.
Spent a little too much time being safe instead of concentrating on my solo endeavors. Especially one that favors the piano. That is not to say that he doesn't have plenty of help from his friends. When you get this kind of talent together that is willing to help you out just because they like the songs, it really gives you a good feeling and makes you think you have something special. I feel very privileged work with these people.
