if nothing else, I AM good at harmonizing
FRIDAY 12/27/19 1:39 AM-The fourth Thursday open mic is history… It went generally way better than I thought it would…I felt like I was playing in a phone booth...I guess that’s not gonna change...some of the regular singers are amateurs and I don’t expect too much from them – I’m not going to name names for a change...The highlight of the evening for me I think was the set by Jeff Jones with harmonies by me and Jeff Karn – amazing...Especially Jones’ rendition of Tom Petty‘s YOU DON’T KNOW HOW IT FEELS...Lately I’ve been worried about losing my high notes, but that was not a problem tonight...not even a little...
My guitar playing wasn’t too bad this evening either…There are still a couple of patches on the ME 70 that need to be readjusted with regard to volume levels though...As far as I can remember, my next gig (with anybody) will be January 10 with the FHB at the Rockville Elks...
No one got paid this evening, because the ATM wouldn’t spit out any cash for Vera... I’ve arranged to go to the Thayer residence and pick up the money tomorrow at 2 o’clock after which I have to come back here to Rockville and feed the cat... But first I have to clean up and pack up…The house sitting job ends for me tomorrow at approximately 5 o’clock after which I go back to G-burg...
There’s a video on Flakebook showing three dudes singing Hotel California acoustically in a sports bar in Fairfax…They got one of the chords wrong and the harmonies are so-so at best... It makes me feel even better about what me Jeff Jones and Jeff Karn did last night, the FHB too for that matter…Allegedly there will be videos… But Jones is hard to work with, for me at least...he’s such a conceited, dorky guy IMO...oh well... I don’t see any rehearsals with anybody in the near future, unless I’m forgetting something...
5:55 PM--back in G-burg, thank the Universe...looking forward to bedtime, I admit...gonna try to stay up until 11 PM...thankfully, I don't have to make a run to Safeway--until tomorrow...
SATURDAY 12/28/19 1:30 PM--Stoney sent the set list for the FHB gig at Rockville Elks on 1/10/20...Of course I had to MANUALLY re-write it THEN create a Google Doc...took about an hour, thought it was gonna take longer...
1:46 PM--just ordered another amp cover...I had about $10 dollars left on my Gift Card, so the cover only added about $6 to my credit card balance...IF the original one somehow turns up, I'll check with Geoff (the ACME Band Co.) to see if he wants/needs one for HIS Blues Jr. amp...I'm not sure but he might already have one, in which case, I dunno what I'm gonna do with an extra one, if I ever see the one I left at the OTWC, which John Trupp allegedly has...why hasn't he contacted me, IF he has it? because he doesn't like me?
7:17 PM--do I annoy that many people? how many people annoy ME?
