So, for the last several days I've been playing hookey from life because I've had this sickness, you know? It's like a cold, with lots of coughin and fever and just buckets full of snot. Snot that could fill a fucking bathtub. And it's yeller. Yeller as the setting sun. Anyway, I've got a gig tomorrow night, and as such, I'm hoping to god (or whatever) that I feel wel enough to play this fucking thing and not embarass myself with a set full of hacking, coughing, mumbling bullshit. In fact, I'm banking on that. I'm also a little bummed that I missed a lot of work because of this stupid thing, because I decidedly need the money, but I suppose some things just can't be helped. So, in the meantime I'm playing guitar and trying to cover some of the rudimentary stuff that I seem to have let fal by the wayside since I left Berklee like scales and drop 2 chord inversions and allsorts of silly little things like that. It's a little depressing to try to play standards I used to know and realize that it's been so long I can no longer remember them, but I remember enough usually that I think if I just pulled out the leadsheets, I'd be able to pick them back up in no time. Hmmm.... Maybe I should do that. I guess there's more to say about my life right now, but I' don't feel like wasting the time to say it, so thus ends this entry. Hope all are well!
