that’s more like it



            MONDAY 11/19/18 11:25PM-tonight I did a totally solo set at GYY...I got complimented a fair amount, and not just for a minute or two...I made up a setlist of six songs, half of which I'd done before...of the three songs I did tonight, I did one (MR. SOUL) for the first time alone...not sure why, but frankly I think I played/sang it better than the versions I've done with Lou (HE sang lead vocals)...I would actually give my set a 9.5--I struggled a teeny bit with the F# minor in DON'T CRY NO TEARS and there was a super fast boo boo in I AM A CHILD...for the first time, I talked to the audience a bit; I think I even glanced at them once or twice...I wonder if anybody shot video or took pix...
           I heard harmonies coming from the audience...it was Donate's friend and bandmate Jodie Morris...like me, she adds harmonies where there aren't any...oh no, am I infatuating again? Gotta nip it in the bud--right now...
                  The bad news? MontCo may be about to lose yet another place to play...It appears as though Xroads' days are numbered--dammit...it appears that the same may be said of IPO...
TUESDAY 11/20/18 8:35AM--still feeling good about last night's solo set at GYY...Dunno when or where I'm gonna get out again...I'm thinking maybe Damascus on Saturday, although that may mean doing that Lou&Scott thing...
      I was talking to a songwriter friend about lyrics, specifically NOT trying to fill every empty space...so I rewrote one of my songs, polishing the lyrics and possibly changing the rhythm of it, making it less "country"...
       I've just been given the green light for the trip to Damascus on Saturday...of course, a lot can happen between now and then...Lou is a maybe, he if DIDN'T make it, I would be OK...
10:25PM--really wishing I had an acoustic open mic coming up, but the next one I know is Saturday...
