I did it!

    FRIDAY 4/19/19 6:38AM--I wasn't sure until I got home from the Grateful Jam, but I think I'm glad I went...I dunno if anyone else is, but I don't care a whole lot--a little, but only so much...not a surprise, but it took me a little while to relax...I guess I was relaxed enough at some point to assert myself as a guitarist...but I tried not to be a stage hog... and I don't think I was...I'm glad I went...as for tonight, who knows? will likely stay in...tomorrow night? dunno yet, but probably...
       SUNDAY 4/21/19 12:02AM--it was inevitable, I went to the OTWC...actually considered getting Dessert to go and coming home...but, sensing or just plain knowing how I was feeling, Tom and Lauren asked me to play Bass behind them for one song...it took me most of the song to get comfortable and figure out how to handle a FIVE string Bass, but I did...Jeff Jones got me (and Kennedy Wright) to sing harmonies behind him...me and Jeff did an ELO song that IMO absolutely kicked ass, but I might be the only person that thinks that...I wish I had as much chutzpah as some people--*I* woulda picked up JT's guitar and played behind some folks...oh well...I hope my falsetto doesn't fail me next Thursday, it served me well last night...in addition, I sang harmony behind Rob...I even played Bass behind him on one of HIS songs...I felt better when I left than when I got there...I don't expect that feeling to last too far beyond today...there are LOTS (dozens?) of pix from last night's show, but (as far as I can tell) none that I would wanna keep...
6:38PM--It may be time to start focusing on next Thursday's open mic...I think the only guitar solos I need to learn are the ones in SHAPES OF THINGS and JUST MY STYLE...I don't foresee any problems--yet...
