again with the pressure?



                                                                                                                                                                                   SUNDAY 11/17/19 10:26 PM--I think I've got the set list for the ACME Band Co.gig at Lahinch Tavern on the 29th and should have the set list for the FHB gig at the OTWC soon, whenever that is...The situation will likely change, probably a few times, but right now I'm rather excited about the FHB gig and a bit apprehensive about the ABC gig...
           MONDAY 11/18/19 11:13 AM--prepping for the FHB gig...loaded up the tablet with two or three more sets of lyrics...printed what I think are the latest set lists for both band's gigs...
2:50 PM-just discovered something… When I got my new phone, it took a day or two but most of the old files made it to the new phone...with the exception of all of my sound recordings... Most if not all of the ones that I thought were important enough I uploaded into iTunes but basically, when it comes to the entire collection itself, I’m starting over, there IS no Collection..a bit of a shock, but Life is like that sometimes...
     TUESDAY 11/19/19 5:50 PM--mostly because there was a workman in the house, I haven't touched a guitar...he's gonna be here again tomorrow...even so, I intend to get a new set of strings for Butterscotch...maybe I can put them on early Thursday morning and use Thursday night's rehearsal to break 'em in...
11:07 PM--nervously downloaded a free Joe Bonamassa album into iTunes, which (I think) automatically enters me in a Fender contest where the winner gets an amp...which I would likely sell for some cash...
WEDNESDAY 11/20/19 8:35 AM--still planning to put new strings on Butterscotch...I guess I'll have to wait until the splashback guy leaves...
1:38 PM--some of the guys in the FHB and I have been having a civil discussion about some trouble spots in the FHB song list...let's see how civil we all can be at practice...
9PM--it took an hour (just like in the old days) but I put new strings on Butterscotch...managed to stab the middle finger of my left (fretting) hand...hopefully it will be better in about 22 hours...if not then, surely it will be OK by Saturday...
THURSDAY 11/21/19 4:41 PM--our OTWC debut (as something other than an open mic house band) is two days away...the number of butterflies is growing...
10:35 PM--it's weird, I felt fine at FHB practice...I felt as though my voice was slowly coming back...although singing from my chest really wore me out...now I'm home and I'm feeling a bit "oogy"...
11:19 PM--I just made a payment to Litz...I might regret it later, but not yet--I paid $100...now I owe about $150 more or less...there's still about 35 minutes left until tomorrow, but it was a very good day...
