Liko, that's so incredible! Good for you both. I bet you'll have the bug now and want to do it again! I left drumming at about 24 and got back in 6 yrs ago at 50.. hadn't performed in a long time but we started playing/jamming at a mate's annual halloween party and after the first minute or two the excitement kicked in and it is so much fun entertaining people.. and yes, even when I/we think the playing wasn't so perfect, people don't usually notice and they say I/we did terrific. Hope you get to do it again!
(but your so far away from your bandmate!)
