What do Jimi Hendrix, Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers, Bryan Adams, Rod Stewart, Linda Ronstadt, Ringo Starr all have in common? They have all played with a musician known as skunk baxter! I was really surprised to learn that he had played with so many famous musicians! Now to be honest, I have never been one to learn the name of the musicians in popular bands (with a few exceptions, such as the Beatles!) and maybe that is a character flaw of some sort. I admit that I’m really bad at remembering people’s names in everyday life. And I’m even really bad at remembering the names of a band that plays a particular song (unless I really really love the song!) But I wonder who else would be surprised to learn that this guy had played with so many famous musicians. And now I am wondering why he ever started being called “skunk.” I’m not sure I want to know!
Band
My brother in law has a band. This past week he had to invest in some new equipment. He bought something called a Presonus, that he needed for their gigs. It’s something to do with the sound equipment, but I am unfamiliar with it myself. I am just about tone def. I wish I could play and instrument, but I cannot unfortunately. I really love music and I love to go watch his band play. I think I will go see them this weekend.
