Last Friday I sat in with the East Fork Bandits band for a dance down in Macon. Other than it was hotter than the hubs of Hell... we had a blast. We'd gotten in 2 practices, and considering *that*, we sounded pretty good. Did a couple of 15 song sets, had a pretty good crowd of dancers and a larger crowd of listeners. Somehow it didn't rain that night, but the mud was in abundance. Holy cow...
Here's a few pics and a couple of videos from Friday. I was playing guitar in the 6 piece band. There were 3 of us from our regular band Keota, Mary Beth, Louis and myself with Kevin M. on lead guitar and vocals, Todd S. on a thumpin' ol Rickenbacker bass, and Timmy L on drums and vocals.
Gotta do the obligatory Mustang Sally... The video quality is horrible, sorry 'bout that, but the sound is "decent".
Did a song by a gal named Jennifer Hanson called Beautiful Goodbye that was kinda cool, sorta grew on me a bit.
After Friday night, Keota did a couple of short sets at another deal as guests of another band. Had a load of fun there and hopefully a little bit better quality video. I'll have to give it a look.

I love to read your posts about performing. Just this past week my drummer son played again - two days in a row. The best years of our lives were the years when we could go watch the two boys perform somewhere - anywhere! But G's been too depressed to play for over a year now so it was a hopeful sign to hear him playing again.
Hey, do you read http://kimsbigquiltingadventure.blogspot.com/? She's posted a story you might enjoy. We both thought it sounded like someone you might know.
Have a great day!
Man we wish we had been there for the whole weekend of music! There's a ton of amazing talent in that group. Yourself included, Buster :)

I would say you have a great band going there. I loved the hardware store story, until I thought I was going crazy with the page zipping up and down fast enough to make me blind, then I noticed my cat hade his paw on the enter key. Good heavens, what next!
