Friday Night Right

I finally did something right. I took the time to take my wife out to hear live music at the Bare Bones Grill & Brewery restaurant in Ellicott City, MD. The food was good, the wait long, the service, so-so. Spending time away from our house and the world made it priceless.

The band was great. The drummer Chuck Ferrell, has been a long time friend and a percussion virtuoso. He teaches in Maryland and plays for several bands in different genres. This group named Blue Funk was led by Damon Foreman, a brilliant guitarist and teacher also played the best covers of Santana that I have ever heard infused the night with music ranging from Jimi Hendrix, Prince, Parliament, Santana, and his own creations. The group was silly and very entertaining to watch. I have never seen four people look like they were having so much fun entertaining other people.

The wife was happy, that I was happy and that makes for a good home. We laughed at the fearless but rhythm challenged groups that danced inches away from the band on a small dance space in front of the bar where a good time was had by all.
