Not going to play the Blues in Bowie tonight…I might be a folkie singer/songwriter instead…I said (on the OTHER Fb) that I was stepping slightly outta my safety zone, but (IF I get to perform) it’s quite a ways away from the safety zone…and I have mixed feelings about doing it…like I’ve said before the “solo acoustic” thing scares the crap outta me, and that’s when I’m playing songs I KNOW…playing MY songs (which I don’t know that well) is even more terrifying than that…but facing yer fears is said to be good for us…though I don’t know how the “trots” or puking can be good for anybody…I made the commitment and I’m a-gonna stick to it…and if all I do is spectate, that’s fine by me…there will be a major addendum later of course…

as promised, here’s the ADDENDUM–I did not play any songs of mine (surprise) but I spent lotsa time onstage playing and/or singing harmony behind various people…some of these people I just don’t like much (am I not allowed?) but I don’t wanna hurt their feelings by saying “no”–that makes sense don’t it? It causes me no physical pain to play alongside them, I think the most I get is annoyed…I’m pretty sure they appreciate my ability, but it is entirely possible that they don’t LIKE me either…I think I’m OK with that actually…it was nice to see a certain female friend, but don’t worry, she’s married…and even if she wasn’t I believe there are MAJOR compatibility issues…while I can imagine us singing to each other,  or expressing our feelings for each other in a physically intimate way (that which most of you call sex, or fucking)  we do NOT share the same beliefs regarding Religion…like I said compatibility, or the lack thereof…on the way home I got busted for the brake lights I seemingly don’t have and the one headlight I don’t have…so much for the money in the Bank that I had hoped to leave alone…such is Life…it ain’t great, but it doesn’t suck either…yet…
