so it’s NOT just me…

other people think MSR kicked butt this evening in McLean VA…I still say we’re the best harmony group in MY social circle…someday I’m  gonna finish a song I start writing…getting to the gig was challenging and so was getting home…but I’m $50 richer, so what I (we) went thru was worth it…I kinda screwed up […]

how stoopid am I ?

someone I know is quite a bit “quirkier” than the rest of the inhabitants of my World…she is delusional about her Musical ability–you’ll just have to take my word for it…Her 38 year old son apparently has the Mind of a 12 year old…I have been tolerating the two of them for years, but lately […]

the Fair was…fair…

so the roomie and I went to the Fair…we walked around a bunch and came home…trying not to be nervous about the gig tomorrow, but I am…I DO wish I didn’t have to work on Sunday, but I have no choice–for now…

I really wanted to, but I didn’t…

better late than never…I guess

After a handful of gigs, MSR had it’s first rehearsal yesterday…cooked up a very nice arrangement of CAN’T BUY ME LOVE…and (for the future) we’re working on IN MY ROOM; it’s gonna kick ass…no group of friends that *I* know harmonize as well as us…the gig is on Saturday and of course, I’m nervous already…but […]

A couple of “friends” of mine and I have a fairly important gig coming up this Saturday…so we’re gonna rehearse for it tonight…I don’t really feel like an equal partner, the two of them do lotsa gigs w/o me…He needs the money, she needs the attention (*I* think)…I’m just gonna go to practice and do […]
