SUNDAY 8/1/21 12:02AM--rather suddenly I'm having second thoughts about going to the Riley's Lock Jam...Audience participation seems to be automatic...but not every member of the audience is an even semi-professional Musician...judging from the few videos I've seen, it's one big communal singalong...Call it whatever ya want, ego or conceit, but I'm not sure I wanna be a part of that...it kinda feels like I'm lowering myself a bit...Like I said, it's an ego thing...
8:18AM--and now I'm having second thoughts about my second thoughts--sheesh...
9:44AM--I WANT to shave and shower but the roomie is still asleep...and I still dunno what, if anything I'm bringing with me...
11:20AM-I deliberately left any guitars at home… I think I’m at the location of the jam itself, watching some kayakers floating down the Potomac…I’m about a half an hour early but I don’t care – yet…
11:43AM-found it… how long will it be before I regret leaving my guitar at home?
12:20PM-maybe MAYBE I’ll bring the Blues Jr next time-there are 3 generators here...
2PM--just got back from the cancelled Riley's Lock Jam...So I was there for more than two hours...hopefully I can go next week...One of the guys in charge was prepared to let me use HIS guitar and amp...that PRS felt good in my hands...I would have loved to have jammed with a certain busy ( as in works a lot) guitar player, but it was not meant to happen--yet...
