a twang bang
actually, out of a (not quite) three hour visit to this particular open mic there was only about 20 minutes of twangin’, if that–but that was enough for me…A drummer friend and I drove about 50 miles to the North (Thursday night) instead of 50 miles to the South (on a Wednesday night) to Hagerstown…There may be some folks in Derwood who are pissed off at us, but Life is like that…I had already played a bunch when Carl was invited to the “stage”–the cowboy hat he was wearing indicated that he would be doin’ some old time Country Music; I didn’t expect to hear him sing any King Crimson or Beach Boys…I was right…so I actually asked if I could stay; the answer was “yes” and that’s when I had the most fun…Except for the headache I’ve had pretty much all day, I feel good…There are a zillion possible reasons for having this headache, but *I* think it’s because suddenly my BP meds are BACK in my system…it doesn’t really matter WHY I have a headache, I just wanna get rid of it…Life is Good…
SLIGHTLY LATER–just had a major “red” episode; my face, well, my whole head (down almost to my neck) suddenly gets VERY red for a moment, then gradually returns to “normal”…rather scary considering I just took a unscheduled dose of my meds…I hope and pray that my trip to the hospital was not wasted…I wonder if the PROCESS of taking one’s BP actually elevates it? If I’m not back in a few days, start worrying…
