April 4-6:
Wonderful (if cold!) trip to Columbus OH w/Jon. Played with some blues greats for some cancer patients and was thrilled and totally humbled to be there. Felt out of place but tried my best. Had my hair done in killer rock star style so that may have helped. Chuckle! Praying to be invited back to play some more, but who knows... There was video on the news but I just checked and it's been deleted already.
April 8:
Played a gig at a Thai restaurant w/Jon and his partner Rich. Totally amusing. We ate really good food for free and got paid so whatever. I quote Rich's song constantly, "A Gig is a Gig."
April 9:
Played another gig w/Jon and Rich. Their incredible guitarist friend J.P. (who was in town to play some shows) showed up and sat in with us. What the hell was I doing there? Anyway, it was awesome. Then Jon had to run out of town to play a gig in Corpus Christi w/our harmonica frenemy and I ran to see J.P.'s in-store at Cactus. Then I made the band come across the street w/me and Phillipo for drinks, which was fun. Then we went to see them play that night at the Big Easy. Waaaaay fun!
April 11:
Drinks at the Lancaster Hotel and an early bday present from Enor: Tickets to the concerto winners at the Hobby Center! Really took me back to my youth. Great music. Soul soothing and therapeutic.
April 12:
Gig w/Jon and Rich--NO DRUMMER. Me on bass and fiddle and incredibly, my mom and stepdad came all the way out there to see us (a good 45-min. drive for them!). I also sang a song. The show was recorded by our bassist friend in the audience (also the bassist on Jon and Rich's CD). I was a little shaky on fiddle and vocals but we played on a Tues. night for 15 people so whatever. Good paid rehearsal, as we say.
Ok, I'm at Job #2 now and I'm tired from the last few days and tonight is my 1st night at my house in a week and I had to take Jon to the airport early this a.m. and I miss him and my Process started and blah blah blah I'm gwine home now.
