going with the flow
made it in to work by 11AM…tried not to hurry…having a coronary episode at work would be such a bummer…if the worst thing were to happen, they wouldn’t find me until 7AM Monday morning…did most of the stuff, got out by 4…almost fell asleep on the subway, never mind the Bus…could sworn I blogged about last night’s gig already, but I don’t see one…Anyway, I got there shortly after I wanted to, but still with plenty of time to spare…uh, I found it…A guy got a little too enthused and had to be ejected from the Pub, I suspect he was a bit “juiced”…Got a ride home with half the duo that played during our break…She’s very nice and a pretty good singer…We don’t agree on everything, but we do a bunch of things in common…
found myself thinking of songs for ME to sing in MSR…If I’m not gonna play too many solos, then maybe Rick wants me to be more of a lead vocalist–I can do that I think…I’m gonna suggest THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGIN’ for whenever we practice again…Rick actually suggested IN MY ROOM; that’s gonna be tough I think…but it would be cool to nail it…
still feelin’ a bit “oogy” physically, gigs take a fair amount outta me; not exactly sure why, it’s supposed to be fun…in fact, it’s a bit stressful–am I gonna remember the chords? or the lyrics? or the arrangement? Am I liking the sound of the PA? Etc., etc…The SLR thing is slightly more stressful than the MSR thing…but not by much…Ultimately both gigs went very well I think…having everything polished up ’til it’s nearly perfect doesn’t appeal to me, so it’s a bit of a trade off–such is life…it’s kinda exciting workin’ without a net…I don’t even know when I‘ve got another gig–with anybody…but (I think) Life is Good…
