I had a great birthday yesterday! At work I put a project into production that I had been working on since last May. Then I went out to eat at a five star restaurant - blackened Mahi Mahi, several glasses of excellent German white wine and this fantastic cream puff thing for dessert. After dinner I spoke with my old bass player Kraig who is coming over to jam with my cover band tonight. He just bought a new Roland keyboard and his talents would be a real boost for this band. Kraig is one of those guys that can play any instrument very well. I saw him sing and play keys on "Maybe I'm Amazed" and it sounded just like Paul. Life is good!

Sounds like it was indeed a Happy Birthday!

Happy belated birthday Jimmy! Glad to hear things are going well for you! Post some recordings of your new band when time allows.

Thanks guys! This is a cover band and the main focus is to play out (and make money!) but I suppose we'll be recording something eventually. Probably be more worthwhile to get a decent video of the band. With a good keys guy in the band there's no stopping us. These are Kraig's audition songs for tonight:

Rock & Roll - Mitch Ryder and Detroit
My Woman From Tokyo - Deep Purple
Aqualung - Jethro Tull
Born To Run - Bruce Springsteen
Maggie May - Rod Stewart
Big Shot - Billy Joel
Mississippi Queen - Mountain

Damn Jimmy, Ive been wrapped up in a lot of business issues and didnt notice it was your birthday, so Happy Birthday you PRUNK!

I like the selection of songs with your cover band, good luck with that!

Like Ive said the first cover song I want to hear is Born To Run

Thanks Johnny! Kraig was telling that his new keyboard has an awesome electric guitar patch that he can use on songs where there's no keys and multiple guitar tracks to help fill out the sound. I am so geeked!

Happy belated friend!

Happy birthday Jimmy.

I hope the band aspirations turn out well for you.

Happy birthday, Jim.

It also happens to be Marsha's birthday today.

Happy birthday to all! It sounds like you had a nice one Jimmy.
