I've got to be honest witrh ya dude. The first band was back in the late 70,s and early 80,s. I played bass. We drank and smoked a lot more than we played. :wink:
Me and Ray started jamming together in around 05. NKF have been together about two years now. I only picked up the guitar again when Ray and I started together. The interim years were just about non stop Kung fu training.
I love being into music again. What a rush. :D

Yeah.. I can relate to the non-stop partyin, one band I was in we all lived in 1 house and people would hang out and never leave, and the booze and 'other stuff' would never stop.. it finally got so bad I had to leave, just to get my sht together and my head halfway back on straight.. lol..
(I still like to party tho :wink: )

Never thought to compile a complete list, but I'm guestimating about 25, not including hundreds of jambs or one night stands.

Yeah I was thinking it'd be being in a band ~ 3-4 months minimum (-right; O.N.S.'s and jam-sessions not counting) I counted about 11 myself, but some of them were in the 'short-term memory loss' years 8) so I'm not exactly sure..

Here's my list: True Blue (New Jersey), all the rest here in Kansas City: Blue Collar, Bandogs, Channel Cats, Outhouse Blues Band, Delta Rays, M. T. Pockets, Jerry Dowell Band, fisherman bob & The Bluefin Tuna Band. I guess that makes ten bands in 28 years. Later...

Two. The first one was the furthest from being serious though.
