8:37 pm	It was a solid bar on the edge of the city, where substance and style was more important than just style. You went here for a good drink, some games, maybe a cute one that chose whiskey over Skinny Bitches. Fashioned to a passable likeness of a proper pub, the bar was warm, nice wooden inlays, friendly level of loud and more beers than you could shake your leg at. And, as one of the house band, Johnny Hickory knew how to make these people shake their legs. He was taking over lead guitar at the moment, they were running covers of Rolling Stones and Aerosmith, keeping the crowd bouncing. Later on they'll kick into their pub-worthy covers, but right now, while the night was young, it was the stuff the locals would be more familiar. (44 Comments |Comment on this)

11:27 pm	Everyone's heard the song, hell, I've even seen women in nicely tight pants dance on bars to it. What they didn't have a stanza for was the afterward bit. Sure the Devil can't touch my soul, don't mean he can't make life shit. And since Pride is a Deadly Sin, the Pearly gates won't open for me until I humble and beg forgiveness. Hey, I didn't go looking for the pointy tongued prick... Anyway, means I age slower than others, so I don't die of old age before I renounce my wicked ways. Which means, as long as I regret it at the end, I can do just about anything thought of beforehand. Which, let me tell you, is more fun than you think. Music. Music is the one thing that keeps my feet on the ground. There isn't anything, and I do mean that, that I can't play. I've done symphonies, bars, even covers of rap and anything in between. Pubs and bars pay a shit ton better, both above and under the table. Plus you meet the most intereting folks there.... I do not bring out The Fiddle for most jobs though, even if it has some perks. Invoking any emotion or state of mind can be great. I just can't do Love. Lust, heh, plenty of that, but Love. That's something the Devil can't twist and I can't play. Oh, one more thing. Ladies and gentlemen, just take a moment to think what I can do with my fingers. (Comment on this)
