who's opinion matters the most?




         SUNDAY 4/21/19 9:35PM--so if *I* think something sucks isn't so good, be it a song or a band or an individual Musician or something *I* am playing or singing, should anyone else's opinion matter? I can't for the Life of me understand how any other members of the bands I'm officially in can believe that the bands themselves are "pretty good"...The 4th Thursday Band (the "unofficial" band) is better than either of them and we don't ever practice...I'm still hoping we can become an official Band, but it hasn't happened yet...as for my performances last night, the harmony singing was better than the Bass playing...and some of the Bass playing wasn't half bad...
             MONDAY 4/22/19 4:34PM--Jackie is hosting at Hershey's on Wednesday...I hope to be there, in what capacity I have no idea--spectator or participant, who knows? Jeff Jones is throwing himself a birthday party...why does that NOT surprise me? NEWS FLASH!--I can't go see Jackie, ACME has practice...now I'm miserable again...maybe between now and Wednesday, practice will get cancelled...it wouldn't make any difference if we practiced or not, the band would still stink...
WEDNESDAY 4/24/19 7:31AM--practice with the ACME band hasn't been cancelled yet, but I'm still hoping...I plan to put new strings on "eBay" later today, if not later this morning, after breakfast...
9:18AM--so now "eBay" has new strings on it...I'll likely use it at the ACME practice so that the strings will be broken in for Thursday night's open mic gig...
THURSDAY 4/25/19 6:36AM--I've decided to just keep my head down and my mouth shut with regard to the ACME band's low standards...or the Combustibles' low standards for that matter...if an audience likes the Music that's all that matters...(sigh) I wish I truly believed that...I think it's Dave who seems to have his head in the clouds the most, with Geoff running a close second...very frustrating...
5PM--I was asleep at 2:30 when I remembered that I wanted to work with The Gizmo to get ready for tonight's open mic...and THEN I remembered the load-in!!!  I managed to get to the OTWC before 3:30...and back home by about 4:30 or so...Barnaby agreed with me that I should just keep my head down and keep quiet (and, I said to myself, take the money) so that's what I'm gonna try to do...
10PM- well I can’t get the sound out of my equipment that I normally would get-that sucks... and while I sang my one solo number very well, I didn’t get a chance to do the schtick that I had planned because I was wrestling with the equipment to get a good sound…  I will be glad when this night is over...I knew it was not gonna be my night when I left eBay in the car and brought Butterscotch in by mistake...and I left eBay’s whammy bar at home...and no, whammy bars are not always interchangeable...I think there’s a bit more than an hour to go...
