Sing, sing a song

Sing it loud, sing it long! Okay. I did. I showed up to check equipment and double check times with the bar yesterday and ended up going accoustic with two other players until late in the night. But we had too much fun. I'm hoping to get enough voice back to sing tonight. My lead player can't make it and he fill some of the vocals for me. Need Singers to show up tonight.

Someone told me I hadn't mentioned that Easy, who went from partner to renter last winter, finally got to move back to Arkasas. He headed out about three weeks ago. His sister's man got him a job working on a river boat, was what he said. It's all good.

Because I don't know what happens next with the house, I hesitate to rent out the upstairs right now. I'm kinda waiting to see what is going to happen.

I've got a new song cooking up and I think I got another piece of it last night. I have to get some time to sit down and work on that. I have been dusting off some of the old ones, too. People are liking them and so I'm relearning my own music. It's been interesting.

I've got a new band to do some work for. Fatt Lapp Blues Band was in the West MI Blues Society finals last year at the fair. One of the guys is partner to my friend Jeanette's neice - a thin connection, but I like the girl. They need some help getting bookings. I think they are an excellent group and they have 4 cd's of original material. I have a website that I picked up on a whim that I guess I will also dust off and load up. So now I'm a promoting/booking agent...LOL. When I get the site up I'll post it here.

It's Friday night. Had to shut down Thursday, battery ran out. We had a really good crowd, for this place and they stayed until they HAD to leave. It was a great time! Can use more players, but the four we had and the four singers really did a good job of entertaining the crowd. I stayed and played until midnight, then put the toys away and shot some pool. It was good fun.

Today has been lay around the shanty day. Tomorrow is Saturday so until Monday I can just take it easy. I have have some more web work and some ebay research to do....staying busy.

The #1Son called. He's alive and well and moving on down the roads. The grand girl is in dance classes this week. Poor #1DIL is beat from running her around, but the little one really liked it. If I can get the video's posted, I'll share later.

So I'm alive and well and got one ride in this week. Gotta go!
