WEDNESDAY 6/9/21 8:16AM--I think I'm going to go sit-in with Ray...looking back on it, I shoulda gone last night--Carolyn went to Brian Boru...Betcha she won't be at Killarney House tonight...the plan is to bring Butterscotch and the gizmo--and (maybe)a mic and mic stand...
11:44PM-- just got in from Ray's Killarney House gig...my gtr. playing? fair, not great...harmony singing ? very good, at least...Ray said he liked me playing thru the Gizmo...*I* actually have mixed feelings about it...
THURSDAY 6/10/21 10:02AM--I think I'm gonna hold off on going to the Main Stage open mics until after Ray goes back to Denmark...which should be in a bit more than two weeks...I'll only miss two of 'em in a row...
5:16PM--as for last night's sit-in at Killarney House, again I didn't play as well as I think I can...and again, I ot compliments, from people whose opinion matters to me...but I VERY belatedly realize that they may have just saying those things to make me feel good...I know that's possible because I'VE done it more than a few times to musicians and/or singers I've played with...And I probably come across as needing that kind of ego boosting...and I don't like THAT either...
FRIDAY 6/11/21 10:21AM--I've got what I might call a Lunch date tomorrow with a female singer I casually know...It was she who introduced me to the Main Stage open mic...and I backed her up at the OTWC Thursday night open mic FIVE years ago...she's good, enjoys singing a fairly wide variety of Music...
10:41AM--getting nervous/excited already...
SATURDAY 6/12/21 9:08PM--Going to SEE Ray perform on Monday, planning on sitting in on Tuesday...might be hanging with Lou on Thursday during the day...
9:31PM--one of my semi-Musical problems is I don't (can't?) act like a Rock Star...by that I mean just the way some of them (I'm talking locally) walk into a room...their body language says "Mr. Big Deal is here" and I don't know how to do that...even if I knew HOW to do it, I kinda don't WANT to do it...and of course, it would look obvious if suddenly I acted that way...pretty sure I would look ridiculous...Mr. Big Deal guys seem to be very confident, oft times more than just a little...however much confidence I DO have, I keep to myself...
