From an enjoyment/relaxation aspect, I really enjoy backing others and group performances. I'm a terrible entertainer, but, man, do I like to play with like minded musicians.

And, I enjoy checking in here every day.

Thanks, all,

Russ

Same here. I check in here not so much for it's musical content as for the opportunity to observe the interests, thoughts, and social attitudes, of an incredibly accurate microcosm of middle-class, 50+, males in our society. This helps to inform me of what to expect when I venture out into the world around me. But the musical aspect is also interesting. Some very unique characters on this forum (and yes, before someone else says it) myself included .

Let's see:
I like to play and sing.
People tell me I'm good and that they enjoy it and then some of them give me money.
The guy who owns the place gives me money and feeds me.
Women want to help me from the band stand to the rest room. (They USED to want to help me to bed.)

They will still help you to bed, just not for the same reasons ...

Good one Tony!

In this genre', that's about as good as it gets. I'm still chuckling at the lyrics....those that ring true get to you the most . As I've said many times before, one of the reasons I like Don's music (despite his lousy choice of genre's.....kidding, Don, kidding ) is there is almost always a touch of humor in his music; you might get drunk to it but you won't go off and kill yourself. The other thing that amazes me is; how in heck does anybody remember that many songs (music and lyrics). The sign of a TRUE PROFESSIONAL.

Thanks Chas, come on down and I'll buy you a draft beer and some pickled eggs. EEE-HAH!

Thing is, you certainly don't have to be a fan of the genre to appreciate both the performances and the man. I certainly do, partially because he's so damn big and mean looking!

If we worked together, we'd look like Mutt and Jeff. If Chas joined the group it would be a new 2 1/2 men.

Don don't forget Sue's Cajun Boudin sausage too..
