mel and collie band practice

the first band i was in had a practice about once a month… usually just in time to prepare for a show.
the next group i joined practiced three times a week… i dreaded it half the time because it felt like having a third job.
now i practice every day of the week, morning and night. i look forward to it and i play until my hands start cramping or the calluses on my fingertips start to wear off.
it looks a little something like this:
