not a total loss...but almost

    TUESDAY 12/17/19 12:19 PM--the electric twelve sounds pretty good thru my amp IMO...and it seems to be pretty loud as well...the intonation is kinda problematic...what I think are called "first position" chords are not in tune, but what I call barre chords are OK...I guess the real problem is that I have "perfect pitch" so a relatively slight bit of "out-of-tuneness" *I* am gonna notice, whereas other people might not...I actually shot a couple of vids, but I don't know what I'm gonna do with 'em...
          And I think I repaired the reverb in my amp as well...for how long I don't know...I'm a bit concerned about taking the acoustic out in this weather, especially since it will be pretty dammed cold after rehearsal...
10:15 PM--other than having a hard time finding the rehearsal location, the evening was pleasant enough...I'm still not completely sure what we're rehearsing for...Jeff is performing at the Derwood Xmas Show, but Liliana will be outta town...
WEDNESDAY 12/18/1912:21 PM--spent a fair amount of time working with the ME-70...checked out all 36 USER presets, most of which I created and/or modified...
9:21 PM--I spent a fair amount of time knob twiddling on the ME-70 to learn the guitar part that Barnaby learned on the keyboard faster than I did on guitar, thinking he was gonna give it back--he did not, I'm not sure why...it's Butch's Xmas song--Santa Looks a lot Like Daddy...apparently it was time wasted...
                I'm still (IMO) getting treated like dirt...I'm sure my "friend" Stoney (or Barnaby) is composing yet another e-mail full of criticisms--I can hardly wait...
      I've decided that I don't want to be in a Fleetwood Mac Tribute Band, if that's what Jeff and Liliana have in Mind...now I gotta tell them...not looking forward to THAT...
THURSDAY 12/19/19 7:50 AM--was thinking of going to the OTWC tonight, but the open mic is allegedly gonna include a Xmas music segment...one reason NOT to go...
9:13 AM--Tish says she would like me to come out tonight and play...the Xmas stuff won't take all night...and I've never heard Colleen sing...and my equipment is already in the living room...we'll see...
11:32 AM--I had to reconstruct the memorized patches on my keyboard, and so I did, in the "wrong" order, but still...
4:21 PM--I guess it doesn't matter what *I* want, or maybe the FHB is not a democracy...on the day AFTER Xmas we might be playing our Xmas set to kick off the open mic...that's taking the lazy man's way out IMO...
5:32 PM--it's funny, of the four (or is it five?) bands I'm in, I seem to get the most respect from the members of the band(s) that I'm least proud of, if I use the Musical standards that I've been using for most of my Life...it's quite depressing...
