Couple of thoughts now that I'm home from the gig tonight.

First off, PA we didn't do Rock This Town after all but did do Stray Cat Strut. Our guitar player really nails this tune every time, just love the way it sounds.

Tonights gig was a dinner/dance thing at our local legion. I don't normally go to any dinners when the band is playing, just seems to make the night extra long. However my mum wanted to go as she has been actively involved in the Legion for many years.

She's 89 now and I realized I won't have many more opportunities to spend a night out with her at a function like this. Its only since she moved to my town 5 years ago that she's had an opportunity to see me play. She said when they bought me my first guitar for Christmas in 1964 they hoped it wasn't just a passing fad teenagers go through. She never dreamed I would still be playing music 47 years later and getting paid to do it.

All in all it wound being a pretty special evening, one I know I'll back on and be glad I spent this night with her.

I've slept 4 hours since Friday. Picked the lady up at 3AM Saturday morning because she had a small problem where she was staying. Just dropped her off at her sister's. We had our first official kiss at midnight, and it kept going until 6AM... Here's a pic of us together. I'm so head over heels its almost sickening. LOL

As usual, those pictures worked their magic on many of us here. Me included! :)

Yup. I'm free to do whatever I want, however I want and anyone I want, as long as I don't come around her kids messed up on ANYTHING, even alcohol. That's the only rule. I know better than that, so its not really a rule. It's more common sense than anything. Quit smoking cigs at midnight. Mad cravings. Got tired of my wallet being drained $7.48 a day with tax when I can use it to drive back and forth to MD or DE. Although they ARE $4.03 without tax in DE and I'm there enough, but I'd still rather save it. :)



I think I played one of those recently, or one that looked just like it. Serious WP factor, and I don't have a--*ducks Thor's paddle* :hiding:

I smoked my last cig Dec 23 @ 10am...cold friggin' turkey. Withdrawals were hell for about three days, but it gets better...still have occasional cravings, but they pass. Hang in there, you can do it!

Any advice? I've gone through 4 packs of tooth picks, a bag of Jolly Ranchers, and 2 packs of gum since this morning. It really sucked not being able to reach over for a ciggie after love--*ducks Thor's paddle again* :hiding:

another tough call, but I think "without" has a hotness factor in this case that puts it ahead of "with."

put differently, much as I love to see basses, sometimes it's nice to see the whole chick if you know what I mean.

:cool::hyper::bassist:

btw, very cool that Mr Clement is onto this. If I made basses, I would like to see you wearing one too!

Thanks. LOL, Tom's been awesome - After staring at his luscious wood for hours, and being somewhat indecisive, he helped me figure out what would be most satisfying for me... I just can't wait until I get my hands on it!!! The waiting is sooooo hard!

Heh.

She saw some wine red ones she liked, but when I offered to buy them she bailed.

The ones liked she said "I can't really walk in those, I will fall down...'

'I never intended them to to be for use outside the bedroom.' I said.

At the same time I was thinking, 'Good that way you can't get away, and I won't have to stun you...'

Guess I have picked up some interesting thoughts here.

I did tell her that I had a good time perving on the shoes, as I was imagining her nude wearing only those.

Bought her lunch at the Nordstrom Cafe so I am ahead for the day so far.

Or rather, closed out the year well.

Drummerman, good to see you back, it's nice to have you back in the orbit of some of your well, rather new friends. But it's nice to be around people who care about you.

I an hour and a half closeted with an acoustic guitar in the downstairs bathroom playing the Paul Simon CD,
30 mins on 'you can call me al' in F and Graceland for about 45 mins. I can do this out if I have a drummer who can do a shuffle and not get off time. 1-2 1-2. The beat is critical to the song, as much of it is syncopated and the beat has to be right on. I will give it more work to see if I can do it without a drummer, but it loses a lot as far as I can tell.

Resolutions:

Lose weight - lost 7 lbs before the holidays, probably got that back, but need to stay on it.

Spend more time developing my own musical skills and musical life. PA said to me I was a good leader. In my mind, I have a ton of work to do in integrating successfully with other musicians. OTOH, not all the craziness is brought by me.

Take more time for myself. I have realized I have a weird funny habit. On work days I wear black over the calf crew socks. On my days off I wear white over the calf crew socks. I do this without thinking about it but about a week ago I realized this had become some kind of habit.
I guess I want more white sock days.Weird metaphor, but there it is.


I am trying to figure out a way to work 6 weeks in Iceland mid -August thru mid-Sept working 9-6 daily M-F, and taking the weekends for some walkabout.

'With my guitar and a hat full of pennies.' BassGen will get that reference.

Like heading for the hinterland with nothing but my @$$ and a 12string walking down the road, be interesting to see where that ends up. I got the boss at the Xmas party, he says as long as the phone works, he doesn't care. Not sure how Mrs T-God is gonna feel about it. I was going to go alone, as I can no longer retire and just got to keep working to pay bills. That would get me a venue where I could work and get a few w/e's vaca. Just a thought... probably never happen. But I have been thinking about it a lot. A real lot. If I can get a cheap room in Reykjavik, it's almost doable.

You should buy them for her and surprise her with them. Being able to actually walk in them is just an extra advantage aside from their intended purpose anyway.

Hopefully you get the chance to do the work away from work thing. That sounds amazing.

My first resolution was to try to be more mature. My second resolution was to have more fun. The second one kind of cancels out the first. :p
