an uneasy truce

so things have changed microscopically for me since my visit with a Therapist…the “roomie” is gonna try me out as the person who cleans her house (in lieu of paying rent)…I may be delusional, but I think I can do it… whether I want to or not we are gonna clean up the basement on […]

it feels good to be wanted/needed

so I played lead guitar behind two different friends of mine at a singer-songwriter showcase…had a fair amount of fun…Michelle bought me Dinner and Barry gave me a ride home…I guess my playing was OK; I’m sure I repeated myself a bunch but I’m not gonna cry about that now…I’m gonna digest the sandwich I […]

like a gay atheist liberal Democrat in the middle of the Republican National Convention

tomorrow (Wednesday) I’m going with the roomie to see her therapist…I don’t wanna, but “if you care about me you’ll go…”–I knew she’d say that, I just didn’t think she’d say it immediately…if the roles were reversed, I woulda said that too…But I would rather have root canal than go to her therapy session…hopefully going […]

we perservered

Lou and I battled some major technical difficulties at the O.M. tonight…the PA kept cutting out…odd that it didn’t seem to be happening to anyone else…A certain tone deaf female singer asked us if we knew a certain BLUES tune…leaving my (considerable) musical knowledge aside (*I* knew the song) has she NOT heard what Lou […]

a second opinion

so I asked the roomie what she thought of the performance last night…she said my guitar playing was “excellent”…and why weren’t there more harmonies ? So for once, we agreed with each other…If/when Mike didn’t sing with Neil (in unison) I DID sing harmony…I did kinda wonder how MSR would go over in the place… […]
