behold a miracle
I went to hear a band…ran into a friend…HE got a call asking him to finish a gig another friend had started–that’s pretty weird if ya ask me…but I went with him; we came back to the house to get my acoustic and off we went…We played for about 45 minutes or so and I came home with $50 bucks !!! I think it would be a nice place for MSR to play…
I need to put strings on the acoustic…(whispers) maybe I can do that at the workplace…
much MUCH later–I arrived at the workplace at about 10AM; I put the strings on the acoustic and punched the clock at about 10:30…and left at around 3:00 or so…I even went out, got some food, brought it back to the workplace…then I did some more stuff and left for the gig…Metro was doing some track work so shuttle buses replaced the subway for part of that journey–a BIG hassle, but I survived it…
All things considered, the MSR gig went really well…I DID have trouble hearing my guitar sometimes, because 1) somebody’s guitar was too loud and 2) the channel my guitar was in was practically all the way down (I could SEE that)…I should be used to it by now–and maybe I am…I wish Rick would wear his glasses when he’s mixing the sound…Anyway, I had an idea awhile back to play SUGAR MOUNTAIN (Neil Young) with three part harmonies–like CN&Y did a long time ago…we didn’t really work on it much and sorta forgot about it…Tonight RICK suggested it, we did it, I sang lead on it and the harmonies were great…it was a light turnout, like I said before, the gig didn’t exist a few days ago (Thursday) so ANY audience was a blessing…I was exhausted BEFORE we started, why I’m not asleep yet is a bit of a mystery…I would say (cautiously) Life is Good…
