it feels like an awful lot of work to me

   
         TUESDAY 1/28/2020 10:30 AM--I'm not at all sure how long it took, but I FINALLY got a slowed down version of George Strait's AM I BLUE into my iTunes Library...I'm gonna work on it after my planned nap, after Lunch...I kinda getting tired of it already...
11:51AM-- I think I might maybe have possibly gotten the guitar riffs for AM I BLUE ready...*I* would say it's as close to "the record" as *I* am gonna get...I'm not now, and never will be a Human CD player...one of the other guest songs seems to kinda feature a slide part...I've got today, some of tomorrow and hopefully some of Thursday afternoon as well...
     Kinda concerned about getting to bed at a decent hour (whenever that is) Wednesday night after practice knowing I have to be at Aldi's by 7AM...dunno what if anything I'm having for breakfast...Dunno how long I'm gonna be there--NOT gonna ask either...I think I've got tic tac breath mints somewhere...
3:57 PM--gonna continue listening to the o.m. songs, a little at a time...we'll see what happens tomorrow at practice...In social media News, I've (temporarily?) switched from Flakebook to Twitter...I dunno how to do Instagram on the laptop, and I'm not sure I know how to do it on my phone...I THINK it's all about posting a photo with a caption...
WEDNESDAY 1/29/2020 5PM--FHB practice is two hours away...getting nervous about it...and other stuff too..
9:33 PM--I get the feeling that the other members of the FHB feel roughly the same way about backing up the amateurs at the open mic as I do--it's not all that much fun...for instance, Howard seems to want (expect?) to do more than three songs...and it appears as though at least one other member of the band feels the same way about Howard that *I* do--he's "a character"...which may be how my bandmates feel about ME...and as I've said before, that kinda hurts a teeny bit...
THURSDAY 1/30/2020 11:19 AM--brushing up on the open mic songs I need to work on--WICKED GAME  and I GOT YOU by some guy named Jack Johnson--that's a slide part, but a rather easy one...I'll brush up on stuff a little before I head back out...
11:37 AM--Angela probably won't be at the open mic tonight, but Ann might be...Angela's one-time (almost) boyfriend (Steve?) is apparently in a band with Craig Allison...that should be interesting...I THINK Barnaby is their Bass player...he said, at practice last night, that Steve is a bit of an asshole...hmm...I also found out last night that, like it or not, my amp is available for guest guitarists to use...that was news to me...
               This oughta be a fun gig, but it's not...I hate being set up next to Butch...I bet HE doesn't like it either...do other bands put two guitarists side by side? I doubt it...I think it's because of Barnaby and his keyboard(s)...and if I get there on time, I have to sit around waiting for Brian...so getting there after three o'clock actually makes sense to me...I wanna look forward to Hershey's, but I'm not--not yet anyway...it's a tiny stage...
6:05 PM--not sure why, but I seem to be thinking about the LCB Reunion, which is almost TWO months away--IF, of course, it actually happens...I guess I have to remember to be the "me" that I was back in 1985...not that I've changed THAT much...that is, I don't THINK I've changed that much...I suppose I'll have to go back to NOT being Ray's co-pilot, IF I have been for the past couple of years...
