SATURDAY 8/14/21 8:17PM-I made it to Hershey’s…arrived at about 7:30 or so...how long I’m gonna stay is anybody’s guess…I’m kinda bored…*I* think SR3 needs a 2nd guitarist or a keyboard player…yes I think *I* would make it a better band…
9:34PM--I stayed until about 9:10, more or less...I guess The Universe wanted me to come home, so I did...but not before stopping at Giant to get Klondike bars and some other stuff...socially, I was unfulfilled...I DID get the dessert I had a desire for, more or less...but I felt lonely...
11:23PM--apparently, had I stayed at Hershey's longer, I woulda seen Jessica, for whatever good THAT would do me...but the Universe had other plans...I guess it wanted me to be lonely and depressed...so I am...
SUNDAY 8/15/21 11:10AM--I have no (fun) plans whatsoever for today...gonna be doing laundry--oh boy...
MONDAY 8/16/21 1PM--I MIGHT go to the Main Stage Grille tomorrow, but I don't know why...apparently nobody in MontCo wants me in their band...and of course with the return of the Pandemic (which never went away in the first place) clubs will likely be shutting down again soon...so maybe I SHOULD go out while I still can, right? the more I think about it, the more likely I am to go...I'll probably just bring Butterscotch and the BritBag full of pedals...it's pathetic, but I need to be where I feel appreciated, even if it's (in MY head) less than genuine...
TUESDAY 8/17/21 8:39AM--I don't yet feel like going to the Main Stage Grille...it seems like quite a ride to the place...Forty miles, 45 minutes--and that's one way...probably WON'T go...Hershey's is a LOT closer--that's about the only thing it has going for it...
NOON--still don't feel like going to CJ's jam...For one thing I have a 9AM appointment tomorrow at All Day Medical...I don't wanna use the gas to get there and back, I don't think I can afford to eat dinner there, and I don't wanna have to replace the gas I would use--whether I use my car or Dianne's...and I don't think I'd feel that much better than if I went...
11:37PM--guess where I just got back from? It took awhile, perhaps, but I'm glad I went...what took awhile was for other musicians to show up...Dinner was cheaper than I thought it would be...I was starting to wonder if I drove all that way just to eat dinner...thankfully, I got to play--quite a lot...it is VERY frustrating to (after many MANY years) still have trouble connecting my pedals...
Both Max and CJ seem to have the same opinion of my Musical abilitiy...it's a rather positive opinion...I choose to believe that they're being honest...I'm not sure, but I might have stepped on some toes last night, but not deliberately...I'm wasn't the only scat-singing guitarist in attendance last night (think George Benson) but I may have been the only one who used feedback like Hendrix...THAT made me feel kinda special I seemed to connect with a certain drummer though...he left before I could chat with him...Max told me that he told Max that I (paraphrasing) was a valuable asset to the Jam...naturally, that made me feel good...dunno how long that feeling will last...a lot can happen between now and Thursday afternoon, but I'm still hoping to go to Hershey's--I think SueEl wants to go as well...
10:10PM--SueEl is going, but she doesn't need a ride from me...an early Dinner probably means an early Lunch...if I wanna get there at 5:30, I need to leave the house at five o'clock, which means having dinner at 4:30--whatever I'm gonna eat...and that means being outta the shower by 4PM...
THURSDAY 8/19/21 9:25AM--the Plan is to take my amp AND the Gizmo to Hershey's...I THINK I'd rather play outside, but it's not up to me...
10:21PM--just got home from Hershey's...I'm glad I went...spent the first hour or two (?) playing my BASS...Jeff did some work on it...and he bought a good case for it...altogether I owe him about $100 bucks...now it's a bass worth having, even more than it might have been before...after I changed the batteries, the Gizmo performed admirably...the Jam was held outside...that means what I lost in comfort (temperature -wise) I made up for in having plenty of room...once I switched to guitar, I ended up singing a couple of songs...ONE WAY OUT, MARY JANE'S LAST DANCE and mayvbe one other one I think...there weren't a whole lotta Musicians in attendence...the audience wasn't all that big either...but I'm glad I went...
SATURDAY 8/21/21 6:08PM--I THINK I "lost" an entry in this diary...not the first time, and probably not the last...anyway, I cooked up another pair of BASSless CDs...that's (I think) easier than trying to find the ones I created months ago...so now I've got about two hours of songs I can use to practice Bass playing AND singing too...dunno for sure, but I might get started practising tomorrow...
