surprises
the gig with Rick and Michelle went pretty well (hey maybe I COULD write songs after all) considering we don’t rehearse…Maybe because Rick and Michelle do way more shows as a duo, my being there seems to add an element of danger to the shows we DO do together…and just when I was beginning to think Rick was a bit too inflexible regarding adding harmony parts that weren’t on the record (so what?) we pulled off a 3-part arrangement of A HARD DAY’S NIGHT…it kicked ass…afterwards we went down the street to hear a blues band; the band leader is an acquaintance mine…his girl singer had quite a voice–no Sherri Robbins mind you, but still…
got my cell phone service back, THAT feels good…I actually paid way too much to get it back, but I just paid what I thought the machine said to pay…there goes the MD state tax refund (sigh) but I’m good thru the end of June…two days after payday and I’m nearly broke again…happy birthday to me…prolly shouldn’t have bought myself Gregg Allman’s autobiography but I don’t regret it yet…
