analysis

        WEDNESDAY 10/30/19 5:17 PM--it suddenly occurred to me what the various bands I'm in have going for them--or not...ITN is a mostly a "roots rock" kinda thing...The ACME Band is (IMO) a mish mosh of Musical stylings...ITN is a bit better than ACME, for what it's worth...both bands could be "better" I think...
             The Full House Band is better than either one of those, with a pretty dammed eclectic song list...The Combustibles are the most eclectic band of all of them, IMO...it's also the worst of all the bands I'm currently in...The Snowdawgz are every bit as good as the FHB IMO...and the song list is mostly well-known "working class rock"--Bruce, Seger, Petty...excited about both the gig at Hershey's AND the one at the  AmerLegion Post 60 in Laurel...I still dunno how much money I'm gonna make...
            THURSDAY 10/31/19 2:46 AM--I guess the way it works, in both the ACME Band Co. and ITN is that if Dave is happy, everybody's happy...well, Dave's standards must be rather low...I don't think there will be another ITN practice before next Friday's OTWC gig...I dunno how good we're gonna be, but I think the audience will like us...I think I'll use the ME 70--in (mostly) Manual Mode...I'll run a sound check the afternoon of the gig...some of the ITN songs could use a wah-wah sound...
    3:41 PM--as for tonight's gig with the Snowdawgz, I'm taking the least amount of gear to get the job done...getting nervous/excited...should be home by 10:30 or so...
FRIDAY 11/1/19 6:50 AM--and that's about when I got home...maybe I woulda gotten home a bit sooner if it wasn't for the intermittent showers...there was more of a turnout than I thought there would be...Coleen was there, and so was Angela...
      It's probably my imagination or wishful thinking, but sometimes Angela looks at me like she's expecting me to ask her out or something...and, of course I can't--ever...it almost physically hurts to think about it...
SATURDAY 11/2/19 12:38 AM--got home from Laurel about 20 minutes ago...My playing for the first set was nothing to be proud of...I was just about warmed up when I got sick...I dunno if the Wendy's dinner caused the problem, but I had to leave the stage for about ten minutes--can't remember the last time THAT happened...maybe my sugar level was too low...
   My playing for the rest of the night was nothing to brag about either...I THINK I'm mostly over the cold that I've had or it moved to my digestive system...my singing voice might be back; IMO it sounded pretty dammed good in the car on the way home--AFTER the gig, of course...
