it figures

         TUESDAY 1/21/2020 9:55 AM--I went to Litz and bought another tablet holder when I was unable to find my original tablet holder...NOW I have TWO...they are about as different as they could be, but I don't think I NEED two of them...oh well, it happens--a LOT...
        11AM-went to Victor let’s, I got store credit for the base that I never ever use, personally I think $50 store credit is pathetic but I was in no position to argue… I got $140 store credit for the reverb pedal, so together I’ve got nearly $200 worth of store credit which I’m sure will come in handy if I decide to buy a case for the electric 12 string... Actually if I’m going to use it at any gigs in the near future a case would be essential…
         12:19 PM--due to a major computer glitch, I have to record this BLUE entry for at least the THIRD time...I'm gonna try one more time to fix my guitar amp's reverb...if it malfunctions again, I'll give up... Luckily, the ME-70 has reverb in it...I guess I'll have to bring it with me each and every time I play electric guitar thru my amp...so much for the downsized approach that I've been using with ACME, Stu Judd and ITN and most open mics...so what happens to the Manchester bag? Maybe the "downsized" approach will work for any acoustic gigs/open mics I may be involved with...problem solved?
       I kinda reminded Barry that I really was leaving the Combustibles and that he really should look for a replacement...he says he will...
6:41 PM--Angela is apparently about to go into the studio and make an album...just one more local artist who seemingly doesn't think I'm good enough to play on their album...Funny, Sherri Robbins did...kinda depressing...
7:02 PM-I have about a week to learn a bunch of songs for the January open mic...so far, the biggest challenge is AM I BLUE? by George Strait...it’s in F... It’s been suggested that I put a capo on the first fret – I don’t know if that will make things easier or harder…
9:45 PM--there's a bunch of songs on the 1/30 open mic list, but I think I'll be OK...playing Music used to make me feel good...feeling unwanted does not...leaving the Combustibles IS/WAS my idea, but feeling a lack of respect from (at least) some of the other members of the FHB makes me miserable...It's like the various bands/band leaders all say, "He's just about good enough, and he's willing to work cheap...so we'll keep him..."
