Steemit OpenMic 76: "Ball and Chain" (Social Distortion cover)

Last night I got to spend a couple hours playing music with a couple of my old buddies and I talked them into making an openmic video with me! I’ve known Jim and Dustin since we were kids and we even played in a couple bands together for several years back in the late 2000s and early 2010s. (Man, it feels weird to say that.)

I have to admit I was a little nervous about playing music with them after so many years, but after getting musically reacquainted, it was just like old times :) We played through some of our old covers and some originals too, but we decided to record a simple cover since we were a little budgeted for time. We just clamped my phone to a mic stand and did this in one take, and it was a lot of fun!

Jim and Dustin are both incredibly talented musicians and I hope that they will eventually decide to join the fun in the #openmic community!

Thanks, as always, to @luzcypher, @pfunk and ALL of the openmic judges for taking the time to listen to everyone’s entries... No matter how simple or complex.
