all things considered

the Bel Air gig went quite well, all things considered…the PA (an emergency purchase to replace SLR’s PA) worked, thank goodness…the singer was (mostly) over her cold; there was a grandchild in the hospital, *I* didn’t have enuff money in the Bank to cover the deposit for the rental car…the patrons of the art gallery […]

kinda like high school

I’ve got a gig tomorrow, and I haven’t yet done my “homework”…the CD won’t play on the laptop apparently…my partner (SLR) and I are gonna play live to the backing tracks of her CD…I’m not optimistic about that, we’re both used to playing “in the moment”…we pretty much don’t play anything the same way twice…so […]

redemption (I think and hope)

the ad hoc band didn’t practice tonight, so I went (by car–thanks again to the housemate) to see some friends play their gig…I was hoping to sing a few with ’em, but I THINK I coulda just as easily been a mere spectator…The bass player apologized for not getting me up for certain songs, but […]
