TUESDAY 11/2/21 9:40AM--I don't understand why there's a woman in a Neil Young Tribute band, unless she's supposed to be Darryl Hannah...I don't yet FEEL like going anywhere, much less my old neighborhood...but that's where the new Max & CJ open mic is...I don't yet feel like playing Music, but I'm not driving that far to sit on the sidelines...If I go I'll bring my Bass...SueEl seems to wanna go...as of now, it's raining a little; hopefully it won't get any worse and/or stop by the time I leave--IF I go...and yes, I could be a LOT more miserable...
The open mic starts at 7:30 and I wanna get there about 30 mins before it starts...It should take 45mins or so to get there--NOT factoring in weather or traffic...that means picking SueEl at about 6:15, more or less...
WEDNESDAY 11/3/21 12:48AM--I picked SueEl up on time, but did not get to The Willow by 7 o'clock...Max got me onstage surprisingly early to play Bass...I'd give myself a "9" on a scale of Ten...I had a very good time...it woulda been better if I hadn't collapsed...But *I* think my Karma has been balanced to"atone" for my transgression last week...
I really REALLY locked in with a certain drummer...frankly *I* found it to be amazing, like we play together all the time...the songs we played were pretty much the kinda stuff we always play at CJ's open mic...I played some guitar as well, including sharing the stage with a guy I was in a band with back in 1975...IF had to do tonight again , I would...collapse included...
1:36AM--I think maybe I might have possibly impressed a few musicians at the open mic--that feels good...
8:08PM--I just found out the Hershey's Jam will be indoors...maybe that means there's no room for five or six guitar players to play at the same time...SOMEBODY needs to impose a little bit of discipline and order IMO...perhaps it's time to consider using a sign-up sheet or something...The Dietle's O.M. doesn't use one and yet it works, as far as *I* can see...
