20 years since I'd played live (married in '92--to quote Sylvester the Cat, "Friday and Thaturday nighth ith definitely off my litht!")
13 hours since the gig ended
1.5 weeks of notice
22 songs
3 rehearsals
3 "guest" vocalists--I think one was named Carrie Okie
1 guitarist who quit during the second rehearsal because of a misunderstanding (we think)
1 remaining guitarist who spent the whole night misreading the chords and forgetting the signature licks ("Yeah, I didn't really have time to practice.")
$0 (food and drinks comped)
But...the rhythm section being good enough for the band to get an invite back for St. Paddy's Day? Priceless!
Just had to share.
P.S. We REALLY need to get Two Tickets To Paradise off the set list. (Waiting so long...waiting so long...waiting so looooong...for that confounded chorus....)
