now it begins/summary

THURSDAY 11/29/18 10:19AM--getting anxious about tonight...AND Dianne's stay in the hospital...we'll BOTH be glad when she comes back home...I guess it doesn't matter too much when I go back to the hospital, but it matters when I leave...hoping for 5PM...it will be dark by then, but I think I can get home from Bethesda--during rush hour (ugh)...

7:30PM- I arrived at the 0TWC when I wanted to… And I’m finished dinner; I forgot to take a Xanax though... it might not have made any difference anyway...

FRIDAY 2:15AM--just got home from the OTWC...it was, as always an innaresting night...as you can imagine I am way too tired to elaborate...I'll be back eventually...
11AM--the house band set went well enough, maybe an 8.0 more or less...remember, we don't rehearse...Angela did two other songs besides CHAIN GANG...one of her songs and something we harmonized really well on--I can't remember what that was...Arlene was her usual self although the gtr. solo in PURPLE RAIN wasn't too bad at all...Bonnie did her two ot three songs...Sally did her three songs (sigh) and for all that work I got $50 bucks...Rockville Mike closed the show...ugh...

9:15PM--the third song Angela sang was TIME AFTER TIME...very nice harmony from me...the mic mix kinda sucked--SHE shoulda had the mic *I* was using, it was super "hot"...the guitar solo in PURPLE RAIN was pretty damn good if I do say so myself...nice harmonies from the other guys as well...Frankly Arlene's lead vocal left more than a bit to be desired, but what's done is done...nonetheless I put the performance into my iTunes Library...some weird unexplainable audio problems, I dunno what caused that...I cut the first minute out of the audio and the last few seconds of the ending surprisingly, both edits are damn near perfect...THE BREAKUP SONG went well I think and HANDS did too, although by then I was already very tired...And *I* thought TALKING IN YOUR SLEEP went well enough, but apparently Stoney had a problem with one or both of the guitar players...I nailed the hook, so his beef is with Butch IMO...
