it's NOT just me

    SUNDAY 4/28/19 8:30AM--last night at the ACME Band gig, Lee (the female singer) made an unsolicited comment about her desire that the Band try to get closer to the record's arrangement...I was shocked...but now I know I can trust my ears...and there was a bit of conflict with Phil the Bass Player over my position onstage relative to my amplifier... I won that disagreement, but we're gonna try switching my position with Geoff's (the other guitarist) which I think will turn out to be a great idea...Geoff seems to like his amp next to him rather than behind him and there's a corner of the stage that is the perfect spot it...
           The plastic crate I used as an amp stand worked well enough...I felt that there wouldn't be room enough for the amp stand I normally use...It was a bit crowded on that side of the stage...we put a monitor on that piece of the stage--I don't think it was working, ever...
           In spite of the presence of the tablet, I fumbled the lyrics to TAKE IT EASY...I made it thru YOU MAY BE RIGHT, but just barely...I didn't let the (entire) Band's performance get me down and that's still the case...
TUESDAY 4/30/19 12:45PM--for various reasons, the Combustibles might not be practicing at all this week...and that's fine by me...if we rehearsed every night this week, we still wouldn't sound as good as *I* want us to...
WEDNESDAY 5/1/19 4:30PM--I was sitting on the fence with regard to going to the Marsh-led open mic at Hershey's; I hadn't prepared any solo stuff... then Lou said HE was going...that settles it...Lou&Scott are back...I'm not the biggest Marsh fan, but they might not be the biggest Scooter fans...and I'm not sure it's a good idea to go out tomorrow night, knowing I'm getting up Friday morning before Dawn to take Dianne to Dulles...
11PM--so I went to Hershey's...I would say Lou and Scott were a 9 out of a possible 10...it was an ok evening socially as well as Musically...
