Default FIRST GIG

I have my first gig, since I had my collapsed lung back in September.

I fly out tomorrow morning. Meeting up with my drummer in California. Haven't seen each other in nearly 4 years.

I'll do acoustic and vocal duties. He will be playing a Cajon, as well as harmony B/G, and probably beer bottles.

I have been rehearsing. Each day is different.

Some days I can do 90 minutes at a time. On a bad day I can still do a 45 minute set.

Dropped dog at kennel this afternoon.

First time I'll be away from KC since 2018.

I'll be playing either my Dad's J-200 or L-4 flat top.

Should be interesting.

Good luck. It'd be fun to hear your take on how it went after all is said done.

Having cast aside all other vices, I will say that gigging is my remaining pleasure-addiction of choice (besides coffee). Enjoy. Have a blast!

Back in the land of green grass. Happy to be home.

Did 2 sets at the gig. Set 1, 90 minute, begining with Loggins & Messina's Vahevala into In The Beginning, by Greg Lake, Georga On My Mind.

I am not much of a talker. So we had made set lists, the night before. Went right down the list. Barely letting last chord ring out before starting next song.

I knew 2 sets, would probably be the max. So I wanted to play as many songs as I could.

Did my heart good to see old friends and family. Did my brain good to have the focus of a gig situation. One I have been missing for 4 years.

Me and my drummer of 44 years. (Playing a Cajon) He has been the only constant force in my life, longer than Mrs. EZ. RIP my dear.
