Nice birthday gift for me Friday night. I turned 65 ... had a gig that night with my buddy Eddie. He plays guitar and harmonica and vocals on these gigs, and I play guitar mandolin and vocals as best as I can keep up with him. But my son Joshua was there, and at the end of the night we invited Josh to play the last set. Eddie took a break, then I took a break while Josh sat in with each of us. My son is a crazy talented performer and brought the house down.
Eddie is a really good musician, and can handle keyboard and just about anything else. When I returned from my break, Eddie (a lefty) had grabbed my mandolin, turned it upside down and was holding his own with it!
Not sure what I got the most delight from: Watching my son kill it onstage, or watching Eddie's facility with mandolin upside down. It was a fun birthday for sure.
