close call

             WEDNESDAY 12/12/18 9:32PM--when I arrived at Agrodolcé I was told that the open mic was cancelled...so I got back in the car to come home when I had a flash--I want the host to tell me the open mic is off...so Mike arrived, straightened things out and the open mic went on liked I hoped I would...I would say I was an 8.0 on a scale of ten...the more I do it the better I'll get at it...I did TWO originals and BLUE... XMAS...I did not announce that they were mine, but I did mention it after I finished...Mike unexpectedly allowed me to do a fourth song...that threw me off guard...I did YOU AIN'T GOIN' NOWHERE...
            11:49PM--forgot to mention, I took a Xanax before I went to G-town...and I'll probably take one before I go to the OTWC...and play the three songs I played tonight, most likely...although I might swap out BLUE XMAS for I'LL GET YOU...
         Thinking about songwriting--still...I have to remember that, never mind David Crosby, I can't write like Rob Gould, Matt Holsen, Ray Weaver...the list may be quite long...the idea that some of my older songs ain't half bad (IMO) gives me hope...But I need to get on with polishing/learning the newer ones...currently working on CLOWN NO MORE...
3:15PM--although I'm STILL making changes to YOU WON'T HAVE ME ! As for tonight, if I get four songs, I'll do BLUE CHRISTMAS, unless someone  beats me to it...it’s good to be prepared...Alan is here, as is Nancy...Angela says she’s going to Hershey’s...maybe that’s a good thing after all...
