it was 7:30PM when I got off the Metro…I heard a friend of mine singing MAN ON THE MOON by REM…he was “busking”…without giving it much thought I let loose a vocal part–and found that my voice had indeed returned!!! The Metro station has GREAT acoustics…I then went to the O.M. with Lou and (eventually) played 4 songs…couldn’t hear my guitar, but I didn’t much care…the vocals were good…The highlight of the evening for ME was when I took the stage UNINVITED and sang GUINEVERE with a guy I knew–it was a 9.5 on a scale of ten…He seemed quite pleased–THAT felt good…He coulda been annoyed to say the least…I probably shouldn’t admit this but the performance brought tears to my eyes, dunno why…but it was damn good…

I think the MSR gig on Friday will be fine…and the Sunday gig too…As for Karmafest (Saturday) with SLR, who  knows? We rehearsed TWICE within a week, but that doesn’t mean we’ll be perfect…Anything can happen and probably will…I bought strings for the acoustic, but I’m not currently sure what I did with ’em…But as far as I can tell, Life is Good…

UPDATE–it’s possible (maybe) that I MIGHT have walked outta the Music store without the strings…I remembered the picks though…they weren’t the brand of strings I normally use so maybe I wasn’t supposed to have ’em in the first place…I guess I’ll try that store near the workplace, expensive though they seem to be to me…
