Seattle Rain

I am sitting here sipping a coke ( I gave up alcohol for lent) listening to Dan's latest band Seattle Rain. Kind of a 90's grunge/heavy rock band. Once again he is in a band that is pretty good. I am thinking back to all of the bands he has been in and all of the genres he has covered over his  career. All of the garage bands practicing wherever someone had a spare room. I am sure I only know of a portion of the actual number. He has always surrounded himself with very talented musicians, but was usually missing one or two ingredients, usually a good singer. Either that or life would get in the way. Being in bands is fun but you got to pay the bills. It's a shame Dan couldn't do this full time because he enjoys it so much. One of the last bands he was in turned out to be pretty successful regionally but he had to leave to go to jewelers school in search of another passion.  Reflecting back to being a roadie for him in high school jazz band to now there has been a lot of music and premieres of new bands like tonight, but he really enjoys it and you gotta love never giving up the dream.
