If only it was permanent

 

                   FRIDAY 10/1/21 9:21AM-hoping to play another gig tonight with Ray Weaver… Suddenly my fantasy is that he moves back here to America and we do this a lot more often…he HAS talked about someday possibly maybe leaving Denmark… which is kind of weird, considering his mother passed away recently…other than his sisters and a daughter in Tennessee (?)  he has no reason to come back to America that I can think of…his only son is currently attending school in England, so theoretically it wouldn’t matter where Ray and his wife live...I don’t really know, but I suspect that he would do a lot better financially if he stays in Denmark… America is overflowing with musicians trying to make it to the big time; which includes lots of singer-songwriters…
               NOON--the Universe is REALLY messing with me now...Ray wants me to play BASS!!! and Jeff is letting me borrow his Bass amp!!! there's no way I'm gonna get a nap now...I DO hope Ray doesn't want me to play lead guitar on anything...
1:35PM--AND Ray wants me to bring my guitar stuff as well--(sheesh) I'm not gonna tell him most of that stuff is in the car already...he says Johnny will be late...we'll just have to (as always) play it by ear...
               SATURDAY 10/2/21 12:40AM--just got home from Killarney House...I played Bass until Gary John Peresta arrived; then I tried  running my guitar thru the Bass amp--to me it sounded terrible, so I brought my guitar amp in and hooked everything up...I felt better after that...at the very end of the night, we did a mostly acoustic set--I didn't necessarily want to, but it was fun...the singer inside me woke up...
5:30PM--still recovering from last night's Ray gig...even if I could make it to Ray's first Sunday gig, I think it would be wiser to go to the second one--maybe...perhaps it depends on when we get back from Dianne's super duper early medical appointment in Frederick...we'll see what we shall see...doing the second gig means (probably) getting home at one or two in the morning Monday...yikes...
 9:10PM--If I get up at 5AM to go to Frederick and manage to make it back home by 11AM, maybe I can catch a few Zs before theoretically leaving for Brian Boru at 1:30 or so...I suppose I could eat Lunch on the way to the gig in Severna Park...
SUNDAY  10/3/21 9:07AM--we got back from Frederick around eight o'clock...naptime is about an hour away...how long it's gonna last is anyone's guess...I'm hoping to make it to the 1st of the two shows...I should be back home by 8:30 or so...
9:35AM--I might make more money at S&J's, but only a litte more...I'd rather catch up on my sleep...
12:42PM--I MIGHT do both, and pay the price tomorrow...
MONDAY 9/4/21 3AM--I've just spent the last 12 hours doing two things--driving and playing Music...the driving used up maybe two hours, the rest of the time I was playing behind Ray Weaver...Dianne was right of course, I feel like I've been hit by a train...
