When it comes to\u00a0 playing Music, I’m better off having help of some kind…some people do just fine on their own, I am not one of those people…Went to an Open Mic, played two songs by myself…did NOT have fun, no matter how good I may have been (within throwing distance of “horrible” I think) but I wanted to do it for some reason…Had a “Cliff notes” version of the Lyrics (SUGAR MTN.) and managed ok…Had a full lyric sheet for the other one (KING MIDAS IN REVERSE) and messed up a bit, go figure…Then Lou and I did our thing and we were pretty good…Then we jammed with some other guys <\/span><\/span><\/span>on some country\/bluegrass stuff–THAT was fun…considerable respect for anybody who can stand alone onstage and play, be they good or bad, which is in the ear of the beholder…
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Then it was on to the OTWC where I eventually ended up playing behind a girl who wanted to sing–she could just about carry a tune (in a pick-up truck) but rhythm\u00a0 was an alien concept to her (because of the alcohol I suspect) and while *I* had fun playing SATISFACTION for almost 15 minutes, it was torture for the other “band” members and the audience…I went thru just about every riff in “E” I could think of…I’m told she pinched my butt when I turned around to adjust the settings on the amp…of course I don’t remember that because (IF for no other reason, and there ARE other reasons*) I’m old enuff to have been her Father…I believe I have a gig Saturday night, so I should\/might stay in Friday night…For now, Life is Good, as far as I can tell…<\/span><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/p>\n

*THE OTHER REASONS– a) Sex is not important to me, and 2) I have SOME integrity…but even if she was “old enough”, I’d rather play Music–I’m very good at that…Some of my cyber-friends seem overly preoccupied with sex…Either they’re not getting ANY, or what they are getting is not good enough…just a layman’s theory–NO pun intended…
