I went to my cousin’s wedding over the weekend. That’s why I didn’t post much last Saturday. I was at the wedding all day.
I enjoy wedding parties ’cause it’s fun to dance and fun to watch everyone else having a good time. A great cover band called, Total Soul, played the wedding. I’m not into cover bands too much. I’m mostly into bands who play original music only, but Total Soul was awesome. The thing with this band is that they are so energetic and tight on stage. The three singers sing really great and have impressive pipes. All of the musicians in this band are very talented. When they play cover songs, they don’t play them note for note. They improvise a lot which is part of why they earned my respect. Plus, this band loves people, they show it and they love to see people having a great time. We need more cover bands like this.
Yes, I love to dance. It’s one of my favorite things to do. I’m an okay dancer but would love to learn how to dance better. I want to like really learn how to dance like a pro. Maybe learn some breakdancing, lol. Learn how to do the MJ moonwalk or something.
Anyway, I was dancing with a couple of pretty looking ladies that I didn’t even know. It looks like they have boyfriends, of course but one thing though that weddings and dance parties aren’t about stealing other guys women. They almost always let you dance with their wife or girlfriend if you want to… they’re usually cool with it and there is no jealousy involved. One of the girls I was dancing with gave me a kiss so I gave her a kiss back so that was kind of cool, just a big kiss on the cheek — nothing major. It seems like every time I go out dancing at a live show, chances are, women are going to want to dance with me. I guess I know how to get the women going out on the dance floor, ha! This is making me becoming a lot more confident around the ladies and realizing they won’t bite at all.
Getting a lover/partner in your life is not just about the attractive looks, that stuff is secondary. As long as you’re a nice guy and treat the women like humans, they’ll be all over you before you know it, doesn’t matter the looks. On top of that, it’s making me realize that women don’t find me all that bad looking after all. I think I got it with the women. I just need to understand them and learn how to talk to them. I’m learning as you can tell.
I love dancing to live bands more than DJ’s. DJ’s are okay but live music is way more fun.
I’m thinking about starting or joining a cover band myself. If I’m having a tough time trying to find work elsewhere doing the cover band thing sounds like a nice idea. I know cover bands get paid pretty decent. If I’m having a tough time trying to find a real job — I’m beginning to realize that I was made to be a paying musician.

I’m beginning to realize that I was made to be a paying musician.
In favor of paying to play!?
That’s not what I meant, of course. I meant I was thinking about getting paid to play music. Getting paid by the venues.
I’m mostly an original song guy but I enjoy playing covers too! It’s important to do both.
Kev
I was never into music for the money but since I can’t get work elsewhere, gotta make cash somehow, right?
Only problem though is that I don’t drive and don’t have a car so it would be tough for me to gig every week… but the license is gonna get worked on though.
I’m planning to get my permit back.
Kev
Get your permit back? You had one before?
(Sorry, maybe I missed that part.)
Yeah. Long time ago. I tried the driving thing several times in my life. Actually tried the driver’s test way back in high school but failed due to passing a stop sign. I’m just a slow learner at driving but it don’t hurt to give it another try.
I want to get my license and car so I can bring my own ass to places where I need to go. Plus, I would be able to go to the movies a lot more often, go see more band shows, and play more of my own gigs. Another reason to get myself a nice woman ’cause I know that a lot of women don’t dig men who don’t drive.
