it’s about time
after LOTSA open mics, jams and other such things, Lou and Scott are playing their first gig later today…It’s a “freebie” and it’s only an hour long but to the butterflies in my stomach, it feels like a gig…A semi-local restaurant has been having a Music marathon to call attention to “Question C” on the ballot which would give eating establishments in the town of Damascus permission to serve beer and wine with meals…It’s an EXTREMELY localized issue, as a Gaithersburg resident for instance *I* don’t have a say either way…Lou lives in Damascus and HE has an opinion…He was asked to play and because he didn’t wanna do it alone, he asked me…Dunno fer sure, ‘cos it’s WAY early but yesterday the roommate said she wanted to go…I have mixed feelings about that, but it would certainly be good for Lou if she went…we’ll see…
LATER–I think the gig was a 7 on a scale of 10…I messed up the lyrics (MY lyrics) to a Byrds song we do…and my brain seemed to be one song ahead of Lou’s brain and the setlist…My new/old friend Mark sat in on a few tunes on Bass…the highlight of our set for me was THE TIMES THEY ARE A-CHANGING, which I thought would be the worst song we did…nailed it…Sat in with Caroline when she did BIG YELLOW TAXI, Arlene sang the low part, *I* sang the high part–nailed that too...
