Day 3 - Part 2 "Bro Lo"

While playing one of our sets tonight, Aaron offered to let Dave play double seconds on a tune for old time’s sake. Dave and I originally were a duo in Lexington, KY which is what inspired me to get better at playing pan all of the time. Because Dave lives so close to the neighborhood we were playing at, he came along to provide some sweet percussion grooves in the background. It was a great feeling to be playing with Dave again but it also felt like having your ex-girlfriend that you still have feelings for, come on a date with you and your current girlfriend. Even worse, when they started telling stories about my habits to each other, it felt like 2 angry ex-girlfriends complaining about your faults to each other, in front of you. As I've discovered with the steel drum duos I've played with over time, it really is a relationship between 2 dudes with sensitive feelings. While Dave was in the bathroom, Connor played percussion on a few tunes, which then felt like having a girl on the side, on top of everything else.
