we can get THAT done, maybe

     THURSDAY 9/12/19 7:08 AM--well, I should be able to put new strings on the acoustic--I found the needle-nose pliers...I need them to remove the end pins...I hope to have 'em on possibly before 9AM...or if not then, by the time Dianne gets back home...
  I broke a string trying to put it on the acoustic guitar; so I have to go to Victor Litz and buy a single string – that’s fucked up… In other news, apparently the fourth Thursday open mic will feature the music of the Beatles...I was not told of this, I found out through the Flakebook grapevine... it feels like I have way fewer friends then I thought I had end and that wasn’t very many in the first place…I guess the Herbert/Geshen partnership is History...I wonder what I did wrong>>>
 NOON-got a pair of high "E" strings from Litz...and a Piano Chord Chart...it may be the smartest KB purchase yet...I don't feel like playing at the open mic yet, but if Dianne goes out tonight, I will too...I DO wanna break in the new strings, in case I end up playing with Ray Saturday evening...If I don't put 'em on right after Lunch, I'll do it after the nap I think I need so much...
 12:47PM--I guess I should think about songs...I'm just so tired...I got outta bed this morning at about 6:15 and have been doing stuff ever since...now I'm hearing from the 4TH Thursday guest singers...Arlene may be a "professional"singer, if getting paid defines professionalism, but it doesn't mean she's a good singer...of course that is my OPINION, but I absolutely refuse to believe that I'm completely alone in feeling that way... 
  9PM (?)  So I did a three (?) song set at the Grape Escape open mic...For the first time ever, I SCAT sang what would have been the harmonica solo in LMYR...it went surprisingly well IMO...I think the whole set did...and don’t forget I didn’t practice the songs AT ALL...I decided at almost the last minute before I left the house what songs I might do...maybe I’m getting cocky, but-who needs Lou or Barry or Jeff H.? And maybe the audience was being nice, but I got a bunch of compliments...
       11:04PM--I'm already looking forward to the next acoustic open mic, be it Pete's or someone else's...maybe I WILL just bring my acoustic to Ray's open mic at Killarney on 9/18...maybe I'll have some songs ready...of course, as always, a lot can happen in a week or so...
