I played guitar in the company of other people last evening. Not a gig or anything, just beer garden stuff.
It's been years. It really was a lovely guitar, it made me look competent. Someone said play these chords, so I tried. It was the basics of "Fade to Grey", the 80's standard by Visage.
Once he felt comfortable with me playing that badly, he put his guitar away, took out his tin whistle and played that melancholic Irish tune over it. The one that we all know but never actually learned the name of. But you know it. It's probably on the soundtrack to the Michael Collins movie. One of them ones. And it worked, it worked really well.
It was nice playing music. In spite of what everyone else said, I felt self indulgent and rubbish. Bless them though.
