Back In The Saddle
So, for those that don't know, I'm a drummer. When I cut my finger requiring five stitches a couple of weeks ago, I knew I'd be out of commission for a while.
A few days ago, I tried playing for the first time since it happened. I jammed with some friends
for an hour or so. My finger felt OK, but when I changed the bandage I could see that there had been internal bleeding. Not good, I thought. So I laid off the playing.
Last night, I got a call to do a few shows with Shane Phillips at Bar Italia, starting this Saturday. I decided to do it, mainly because Shane is real cool and the rest of the band is great. The bass player Tino and I used to go to music school together, and played in the same bands years ago when we both lived in Edmonton, and he's a blast to play with. I also reasoned that a few more days of healing will be enough for my finger to take a night of playing.
We'll see. You can too! Come to the show.
