Hey man, I have been busy with a new job and have not been on too much, but I remembered that I asked you this question and I see that you replied. That is cool. I play rhythm and lead guitar, as well. I've been working so much that I have not had much time to jam at all lately, but I definitely miss playing in the clubs. Back in the 90s I was in a bad that was inspired by Alice in Chains, in that our music was centered on depression and drug use (I'm clean nowadays, btw). Sucks Layne is dead. He had such a powerful voice. Did you ever listen to his side band Mad Season? If not, you should check it out.
I currently have a set of country, blues, and rock tunes. I don't listen to the new pop country stuff. I like the old school stuff like Hank Sr & Jr, Cash, Haggard, Jones, Jennings, Coe, etc. If I listen to somewhat new stuff, I like more of the underground fuck up stuff like Hank III, Joe Buckyourself, and Goultown.
Kids change a lot of things. I have 2 boys, one of which is a newborn. My older son has the music genes in him. My wife is also a musician. She can pretty much pick up any instrument and play by ear. Here primary instrument is the french horn though.
At any rate, I know I started rambling and I'm fucking tired.
Take care,
