Heart heart heart

I just realized that tonight is the (18th????) anniversary of my first date with Darryl (hubby). We had met a couple months earlier at St. Andrew’s Hall in Detroit, where my band was playing. Darryl was living in Nashville at the time but was producing a record in Detroit by a mutual friend and they came to see us play. That New Year’s Eve Darryl was playing a gig somewhere and asked me to attend. There were a bunch of people there, including his dad haha. But it was fun.

At that time plane tickets from Nashville to Detroit were about $40 so we dated long distance for a while.

I’ve only spent New Year’s Eve with him once since then, because he is always working since New Year’s gigs pay well. And I’m an INFJ so going to big loud New Year’s Eve parties and hanging out with a bunch of strangers is *not* my idea of a good time, haha.

Here’s Darryl in a turquoise shirt, playing keyboards. He played a gig in Taiwan once and someone came up to him and asked him how he could play so fast “with such fat fingers.”
