the last chance?
Today I ‘ll be a sitting in with a friend’s group at a “big deal” of a gig…well, it’s a big deal to ME at least…Frankly I AM hoping to make a good impression on the other Musicians who will be there, so I’m already quite nervous…And yet I also know that the only person I have to truly satisfy is ME…To hell with anyone else–if ya like what I do, fine…if ya don’t that’s OK too…
Some of my “friends” will be there…and some people I don’t even know…It does feel like one of my final opportunities to display whatever Musical ability I have before taking up a new hobby–that Art thing I did a few years ago…There’s an arts and crafts store near here, so I wanna visit it while I’m still housesitting in this neighborhood–I WON’T set foot in Michael’s if I can help it…
If my Math skills haven’t completely gone away I figure I’ve been playing Music for nearly 45 years…I actually thought that I would be making a living at it by now…What a stupid idea…It angers me some and hurts even more that I’m NOT…Oh well…It wasn’t meant to be I guess…
ADDENDUM–partially because I’m bored and because the strings are new, I’ve been playing both guitars for most of the morning…and I wanna be warmed up when I hit the stage–whenever that is (4PM?)
The gutter cleaner guys are here; I was kinda expecting them but hoping they wouldn’t come until Monday…they say they’ll only be about 30 minutes–that’s good, I gotta try to get a few more winks…if possible…
