I went to see Ian McLagen (keyboard player for the Small Faces/Faces) tonight at a local club. There were two opening acts; one was a Yardbirds cover band, quite good.
A friend of mine from high school sat in with the band. He's a great guitarist, formerly with the Georgia Satellites, but his humble origins included practicing in my mom's basement with my high school boyfriend's band.
Boy, my mom was a good sport.
It was nice to catch up with him, even though a lot of the talk consisted of remembering another friend of ours that I mentioned a few weeks ago, who passed on unexpectedly, and other rock and roll stories that would probably only be of interest to Tomovoz and Rodz.
