This gig probably requires Xanax



         SATURDAY 11/9/19 7:36 AM-There is a 4 o’clock load in at the Elks club in Rockville… I plan to be there; It shouldn’t take more than 20 minutes to get there...the gig itself starts at eight and goes till 11… Other than those two events, I have no idea what’s going on today, like Dinner... If I don’t forget, I’m going to take a Xanax before I leave for the gig tonight… I think they’re currently at Dianne’s house, so I’ll look for them when I get there, which is in about an hour…
    4:50 PM-I remember when playing a gig was fun...so far this one hasn’t been...the 5PM soundcheck MIGHT be done by 6:30...but I’m not gonna bet on it...
SUNDAY 11/10/19 1AM-The FHB finished their first official gig about an hour and a half ago... All the other members of the band seem to be satisfied with our performance…*I* came out of my shell (as a lead singer) in a BIG way... I surprised even myself...maybe it’s the hat... I DO regret not making a cell phone recording though...
   I came home with $80...I’m happy with that... Every bit of good news is usually followed by a bit of bad news… The Combustibles are supposed to rehearse tomorrow at 1:30 – that’s just about the last thing I want to do tomorrow...maybe it will be canceled;
     7:23 AM-My amp didn’t sound so good by the last set, I hope I haven’t blown the speaker... I’ll probably take the amp to practice, but I won’t take it out of the trunk if I don’t have to – there’s usually a guitar amp in the basement when I get there… It’s the same kind of amp that I use...
MONDAY 11/11/19 1:19PM--again, I'm surprised to find out I have a band practice tonight--with the ACME Band Co.--7PM at Mike's house...as far as I know there's a Peavey amp there for me to run my guitar thru...but I've been instructed to bring the keyboard stuff...the gig is on the 29th...plenty of time to prepare for it keyboard-wise...but I'm not sure I like to be THIS busy...
