say what?!?

I made a deal with a co-worker to coach me a second time on my Sunday shift–there’s more to do on Sunday…the price I pay for the continued coaching is a 6AM start time ! I prolly won’t be home from the Saturday night gig until 2AM…I’m almost sorta kinda in a way maybe wishing I could un-do the coaching deal…perhaps I’m kidding myself, but I’m not 100% sure I’m gonna need her guidance on Sunday…I reserve (or demand) the right to change my Mind either way…except…what’s done is done I guess…unless she calls and sez “Something came up…” but I suspect she needs the money…I was on my own on Thursday and enjoyed it…dunno when I’ll get home, hopefully by 3pm…money is tight, but all things considered Life is Good as far as I can tell…

went to the AmerLegion o.m. Friday night…pathetic turn-out, Musicians and “civilians”…the “eccentric” lap steel player showed up…He was fairly adamant about the song selection “I can’t play anything with minor chords in it…” I wanted to say “Gimme that thing, I’ll show ya how to play individual NOTES” but I didn’t…I wanted to say “relative majors, do ya know what that means?” but I didn’t…I think it means that “inside” an Eminor7 you’ll find a Gmajor triad (G,B and D)…which implies to me that if ya need an E minor, play a G major…At one point he started name dropping–Muddy Waters told me this, BB King told me that…I wanted to say “Who told you that you were any good on that thing?” BUT I didn’t…Lou and I did well for a pair of guys that don’t rehearse…
