RG I saw Willie Nelson about that time in Odessa, after the Shotgun Willie album came out. I was a junior in high school. There was only a couple of hundred people there. I saw him about a year later and the place was packed. Asleep at the Wheel opened for him the second time, Ray Benson had a broken leg.
 
As per the subject title to this thread....then I'd say NO for me.

I play bass guitar in the Houston/Humble/Kingwood area in about 5 bands at last count. I'm booked weekends with gigs since Oct 31 thru Dec 2nd. This usually means I get home about 3am-4am depending on the venue location. And I'm usually draggin butt the Sat or Sun morning after a gig.

Some bike friends, a TWT member or Nextdoor.com acquaintance have invited me on weekend morning rides since I bought my '11 "Oui" this past February. But I'm just not ready to roll out that early after a long nite of giggin.

Now, I'm 59 and don't play in loud rock bands anymore. Mostly now, country, blues, R&B, etc bands only. But these gigs take alot of energy and I mostly feel like just sitting n watching alot of football come Sunday.

So since I'm retired from my square job, I try to get in some weekday, mid-morning rides on my own. Usually an hour at most, then back home. Most my playmates are still at work at that time. I had to get my "Oui" inspected last month, so got one short ride in Oct. :doh:

So yeah; no. Music just don't go with me n motorcycling. And no, I don't want to hear music when I do ride, I like to listen to anything but music while I ride. I mute my phone and carry it zipped up in my riding jacket. But I rarely ride, so there's that. I will make more riding time soon. peace y'all, e.
 
Now, you had to be digging deep to find that. Now since I am doing the same, poking around around for some "new" songs for my band to jam on, check this out: [ame="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjxsESf0N20"]Richie Sambora - Livin' On A Prayer (Acoustic) - YouTube[/ame]

nah, shameless copy/paste from another board.

That was ******! Sometimes the stripped down acoustic version just works.

Well, just goes to show you that old guys can still sound good, even if they play a bit more old style country than I'm used too. Encouraging to hear, since I'm an old guy now too, a semi "flatlander" living on the only hill I could afford to buy in TX, and finally have an old farmhouse with a front porch to pick my guitar on, and can plug the band in and make a much noise as we want out here in the country. Sheesh I'm probably more country than I'd admit. Yeehaw
