For anyone watching this in 2024 or later....I'm the lefty lead guitarist in this video (I couldn't get access to the old account I uploaded this video to). I just stumbled upon this after forgetting about it for almost a decade. After reading all these wonderful comments, I wanted you all to know that most of us in this group are still pursuing music in various ways. For instance, the acoustic guitarist in this video is now Olivia Rodrigo's touring guitarist. I currently play in a touring band called Eminence Ensemble. Most of us in this video are still doing the damn thing! Thanks for watching, everyone. Means a lot!
