as I expected

      TUESDAY 9/17/19 11:25PM--got home from the Silver Spring gig about 30 minutes ago...almost to the minute when I hoped I would get home...ears ringing pretty good, apparently my guitar amp was a bit too loud, until someone pointed that out to me...my keyboard playing was about what I figured it would be, not horrible, but still pretty sloppy...I think that the worst song I played on was the one I had worked on the most--AT LAST...go figure...
        The Stagg fell out of Mike's vehicle--TWICE...it worked after the first fall...at some point I'll check on it...The load-in and load-out were IMO grueling, but there were no major hassles...I STILL don't think the band is as good as the other band members think we are, but I'm learning to just go with the flow...I believe there will be vids on Flakebook...Because of the Xanax I guess, I wasn't nearly as nervous as I normally would be...
      The videos indicate that the keyboard wasn't loud enough...lesson learned I guess...kinda surprised no one mentioned THAT...the keyboard is back in the basement, all hooked up...Butterscotch is in my room where it belongs...The amp and the Stagg are still in the trunk, but should be back downstairs by Lunchtime, more or less...
10AM--still planning to go to Killarney House this evening--provided I get a halfway decent nap...I dunno if I'm gonna perform any...if I don't, that's probably OK...so far, I have two songs I might play...dunno exactly when I'm gonna leave, but I'm pretty sure all I'm taking is my acoustic guitar and a pair stomp boxes...
 3:54PM--ran the Stagg test...as far as I can tell, it's still works...I kinda wanna play an original song at the KH open mic...I hope I'll come to my senses before I get to Davidsonville...I've got a full tank of gas and a few bucks in my pocket...I hope I'm surprising Ray, but I think I already told him I might be coming...
