Good luck to both of you..

Thanks. I also hope she gets back into it. She used to be pretty good (as in good enough to play Elton John or Guns N' Roses, or even classical stuff like Mozart or Beethoven), but then she met her now ex and she stopped and the piano moved to my music-room. Thanksfully, she got the interest back, so let's hope things go much better this time. The fact that she has a much more supportive boyfriend than her bastard ex only makes it much more likely to work out.

I definitely agree that it'll expand my musical network a lot. I'm not really the kind of person to go out in the evenings, even though people keep trying to make me... So expanding any kind of network is a bit of a challenge. So far, the only people I've jammed with were folks I've met online (some worked out better than others), but if I can learn where the best local musicians hang out, it might be worth going to those places from time to time. Not too often, of course. It's better to take it easy and actually get used to not being at home all the time when not working, buying groceries, shopping for gear or walking the dogs.

Maybe if the jam goes well, I might want to invite my "road crew" out to celebrate it? Playing on a stage in front of people for the first time is a huge milestone after all, right?
