My poor, neglected blog! How 'bout a little update?
Church Chix is loaning Elixir one of their Bose towers to try out at rehearsal tonight. That should help Elixir decide whether to go Bose or no. If no, we're looking at a Yamaha system. Personally, I don't care either way, as long as we sound good. (Which has a lot to do with why we need rehearsals, right?)
Good Chix rehearsal yesterday. Got a couple of troublesome endings and transitions ironed out and got a song list together for a local Christmas event we're doing in December. (Two weeks? December is in two weeks?!?! Jimminee!)
I'm subbing in for a friend's bass player - blues band - at that same Christmas event. So, two weeks to learn 20 songs. Will there be a rehearsal? Wholly smokes, but I hope so. Could go either way, though.
Same friend has invited me to be in rotation with his bassist once/month. Which would be tons of fun if he didn't play in smokey bars. Last time I subbed in for him, everything I owned reeked for days. Even my guitar stand stunk. Stank. Whatever. Had to leave much gear on the back patio for a couple of days to air out. (And I guess that's why they call it the blues?) Thank goodness for fresh air! And that it wasn't raining.
My daughter's band (with the two JV cheerleaders?) may also be playing that event, depending how the JV team does in playoffs. It slays me how much of my life depends on what's happening on a football field! Go team! Umm. . . unless the girls want to play that event, then maybe not.
And I am, for some reason, habitually neglecting to unplug my chord from my active bass lately. Which means, I'm burning through 9V batteries like Wilie Coyote running through dynamite. (Where does he get the money to order all that stuff from ACME, d'you suppose?)
That's all that's musical in my world at the moment.
Rock on!
