It Still Surprises Me

I've been playing bass along time and I've probably been getting compliments about it just as long.

I'm a decent bass player, sometimes I actually even impress myself, but for the most part it always surprises me when somebody mentions it.

There was a post on the American Blues Scene page asking who is the best bass player of all time.

I narrowed mine down to Tommy Shannon.

A few hours later I get a notice that our guitar players brother also commented and I clicked the notification to see the picture below. It Just blew me away. Even though I know it's somebody who knows me and has a close connection to our band, it just blew me away to be mentioned in the same post as the greatest bass players of all time.

Here's what that ended up looking like:

Me: So as good as my day has been it just got better. I look over on my side bar and I see Bill "commented on American Blues Scene". I think "Wow, I didn't know he knew about that"; Of course Marks brother would know about that.. Then I saw his comment and, being me, especially after my comment about my guy, well, it just blew me away for a second to see that. Thanks Bill!

Awesome.
