Friendly Memories
Every once in a while, a familiar face comes to dine in my little corner of the restaurant. This past week, I saw, of all people, a face that brought back a flood of awesome memories. He was the president of my Blues Society.
I was once in a blues band who completed in an International Blues Competition in 2013. We went to Memphis, TN. It was a great time! The preparation for the intense competitions, hearing other amazing musicians, eating Memphis bbq, and playing on Beale Street are just a few of the great memories this one person brought up.
I played congas, violin, and sang back up vocals in the band. What a great time! I’ll be happy to share stories but that would take a very long time. I will say that those memories left a very beautiful impact on me.
I have since stepped down from the band. Life happens, you know? Yet, I will remember. I will remember and smile.
