Since my initial post, believe it or not, I've formed a band and we've done 4 other gigs so far. In our last one we played two full hours. We've got about 35 or songs, maybe a few more so we can put some variety in the set list and still have a few left over.
I couldn't have done it without our lead vocal and guitar, who's the same guy that got me up on stage the first time. His leadership and stage experience is invaluable. We luckily also found another guy at work who played drums up through college but then dropped it when he graduated, married, kids, etc. He hadn't played in about 15 years, but it took him all of about 10 minutes before he was really back in the saddle again.
Here's a link to a video from our last show, doing one of our favorites, Pride & Joy. It's pretty dark, but you'll get the general idea. That's yours truly on the left with the Strat.

We've got three more gigs coming up in the next two months, so we're excited about that.
Rock on my brothers!
