Sounds good, Open Mike, if you have a car. I'm still enjoying bicycling which keeps me close to home and a little farther, at least in my own mind, from the war mentality. When I buy gas I feel like I'm saying: "Fill 'er up with blood and let's drive." On the bicycle it feels more like I'm putting my life where my values are. So in a way my bicycling lifestyle increases my own enthusiasm for having musical gatherings at my very rustic homestead. Maybe once people see how I live they'll be more likely to park their gas burner as well. Then again, maybe not. Anyway, two pickers make more music than one.
