a Musician friend of mine and I were chatting away during a break at his gig when suddenly he’s offering to GIVE me a guitar amp he no longer uses…I’m supposed to take delivery this morning…I’m stunned…another friend is offering me the chance to do some gigs with his band so that 1) I can have a few bucks in my pocket and 2) I can start paying him back the money I owe HIM…he also told me I was “a better fit” for his band than the guy he normally uses–my friend Rick (the R in MSR)…speaking of which I THINK we have a gig on Sunday…Michelle had said I didn’t have to play the gig because I had said I didn’t wanna (because I work on Sunday) but the way *I* remember it, NONE of us wanted to take the gig; I thought we turned it down…but of course I need the money, as does Rick I suspect…that’s not the reason I play Music, but if I can make a few bucks doing it, I’m grateful…<\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/font><\/p>\n

ADDENDUM–the amp is now mine…dunno when I’m gonna get intimate with it; probably not ’til Tuesday…I think I’ll need a college degree to understand it, but I’ve got the manual…actually, I gotta put strings on the acoustic first; going out tonight w\/Lou to break ’em in for the Sunday gig…<\/font><\/font><\/font>
