a little less terrified, but a tad sad…
had our first and only full Band rehearsal tonight (Tues) for the gig on Saturday…a very innaresting layout, the musicians seem to be scattered all over the “stage”…and we ARE playing in the Sanctuary–psychologically intimidating for me, and sonically challenging…but I think we’ll be fine…finally had use of a pianist, and I can’t remember his name; or the name of the soundman…once I got a monitor in front of me, I was OK…otherwise I couldn’t hear my guitar, and that’s fairly important…for me it was another good day, there’s some money in my pocket and enough in the Bank to pay a couple of bills…Life is Good…
I don’t think I’m too nervous about the gig yet, but I AM excited…will probably stay in on Friday night, to rest up for Saturday night…it’s OK to be cautious, right? I found the tie she thinks/predicts I’ll wear, if I wear one at all…look for THAT and you’ll find THIS instead…I have yet to find the tie *I* wanna wear…I just might buy a new one to throw her off, but it’s possible she’s already considered that possibility too…Oh, “she” ? Go to youTube, type in “Sherri Robbins” leave a comment if ya like the sampler or “Butterfly Dreams”; other than getting THREE hours sleep last night, Life is Good…I hope to be back in bed before Lunchtime…
the one unfortunate thing to happen so far (regarding the upcoming gig) is the dropping of LET IT BE from the setlist…it was the one chance I had to be a “lead” guitarist…see, I have an ego too…never said I didn’t…the vocal duties were to be shared by the featured performer and the opening act…Both of them are great interpretive singers, and yet both of them were struggling a bit with the melody as written…THAT didn’t make sense to me…I said something to HIM about it, but I guess it’s one of HIS “sacred songs”–that is, a song ya don’t mess with…and I’m gonna wear my Tazmanian Devil tie because SHE likes it–it DOES accurately reflect my “quirky” personality, but I wanted to be a little more “sophisticated” and a bit less clown-ish…Besides which, I can’t afford to buy much now–but my two major bills are paid, THAT’S good news…Life is still Good…for which I’m thankful…
