THAT should be innaresting/think twice




   TUESDAY 9/10/19 7:07PM--to some degree, my keyboard skills have taken the day off...oh well...but they'll be back, soon I hope...
          Just heard from Stu--I'll be playing a gig with him on the 27th--three miles away from Killarney House...dunno about the money, if there is any...don't care all that much...I've clearned it with Barry, Dave and Butch--Dianne too...
     That's two different Musicians who apparently have some respect for my ability, whether they actually like me or not...then again, who would play Music with people they didn't like? (COUGH)
9:21PM--When Dianne and I decided to go see Ray, I indicated that *I* was going as a member of the audience...she expressed the idea that I SHOULD bring my acoustic, and be prepared to play...We both know that she doesn't enjoy sitting there by herself when I'm "onstage"...
   I'm planning on going by myself on one of the other days he'll be playing--hopefully I'll be going to Killarney House with the electric guitar...we'll see...
9/11/19 8:36AM--just for laughs, I went to the basement to see if I've got a handle on BLACK VELVET...it went smoothly, including the switch from one patch to another...that's encouraging...
12:54PM-- first Dianne wants to go see Ray on Saturday night...and now she wants to go see 49 Cent Dress on Friday night...that got me fantasizing about being in THAT Band...doing the same thing I do in the ACME Band Co.
 WEDNESDAY 9/11/19 1:02PM--gonna take a nap soon, hopefully for longer than an hour...Fender has reissued the Electric XII--*I* dunno why, but I REALLY want one...I need to focus on the idea that I don't NEED one...I am not in a Byrds tribute band, or a Tom Petty tribute band...I don't play STAIRWAY TO HEAVEN in any of the bands I'm in...it's not perfect, but the octave patch on the ME-70 gets the job done well enough..."Because I want one" is NOT a good reason to buy one, right?
 5:50PM--I removed all the colored dots from the keyboard...SUPERSTITION is fairly ingrained in my head and fingers...AT LAST is getting there...In both cases, I experimented with chord inversions...I think AT LAST works best with what I think is the 1st inversion...I don't know if what I'm doing with SUPERSTITION is the first second or third inversion, but it's what I'm used to, so I'll likely stick with it...just gotta keep practicing...IF I’m taking the acoustic to Ray’s Saturday gig, I gotta put new strings on it...hopefully tomorrow...
