I went off to my usual wednesday night jam up at the dive I frequent.

While technically a "blues jam" where a lot of Atlanta musicians just show up and mix and match pickup bands and do a few numbers, I always get up and do my own thang... a blend of funk and blues. Nobody minds.

When they called me up to do a few songs - I'm telling you - I was possessed. Don't get me wrong, I always win em over with my goofy songs and brick-through-a-window voice, but it's a slow-burn kind of process. Either because I'm nervous or just don't have the energy to really rock out from the first note.

But last night, I was doing my thing with a vengeance. Moving, belting it out, pulling the crowd in, getting them to sing along, get up and dance, etc.

And in the end, I got them clapping and singing "we're gonna turn this mother out". I dropped out the band, so it's just the crowd and me singing it, and I took off my guitar, walked off the stage, still singing it with no mic, just belting it, and strolled on out the door.

It was awesome to hear them still singing from the outside of the bar. Fun stuff. That's all I'm saying.

Of course, I could really use a nap today.

You go, boy.
