News flash, I used to be in a band. Actually, I used to be in many bands, for a very long time. It was a good time, full of lots of memories and ridiculous stories. Anyway, I have since stopped playing in bands for many MANY reasons, but mostly because I got older and my body, along with my sleep cycle, won’t allow it anymore.
All that being said, I have always been a sentimental fool when it comes to my old bands. I have kept nearly every set list, every photo, every video and any other random piece of memorabilia that existed. So, I wanted to incorporate this into our house somewhere, but hadn’t quite found the right spot…until now.
We have slowly made our basement family room into more of a hangout spot, full of fun and quirky things. There’s the Monopoly posters, a ceramic Redskin player that my mom painted in the 70′s, and now the music wall.
I like walking past this everyday, it makes me smile. Maybe it’s the memories, or maybe it’s the all to real bobble-head that MC had made for me last year. Plus, this gives me easy access to my bass, when I do feel the need to play and run through an old set list, if I can remember how the songs went.
I’ll go through the old archives over the next few months and see what I dig up, and what will be added to the wall. Chances are I’ll put up an old set list, a Ticketmaster ticket that had our band’s name on it and some photos. Good thing the wall isn’t that big, or else it would be cluttered with a lot of that stuff. This will probably be an evolving wall, full of randomness. Here’s another shot, right before we put up the bobble-head.
