Last night was the debut of my new Gibson amp and it wasn't good. It started sounding really weird after the first few songs. Luckily, I had a spare amp in the car and I had to use it. I have no idea what the problem is and I can't afford to fix it right now so I guess i've got an oversize Gibson paperweight. After sounding like crap for a while, I threw the game. It did get better. That afternoon, we had a rehearsal that was actually productive. We tightened up a few oldies and learned Van Morrison's Domino. We ended up playing it at the show and it went OK. I can't really sing (?) that high. Pete came and played War Pigs and very nearly smashed the drum kit into Georgia. We had a good conversation about the local musician's elite and how we're not part of it.
I heard our Bamboo Room gig on the 25th is selling pretty well. Surprising. Tonight, Bill was out so Charlie played Elwood's with us. I had a fried pickle and broke a forest of drumsticks. I saw Chuck there but he didn't stay too long. Here comes another crazy week. I got rehearsals on Tuesday (w/Dillengers) and Wednesday (w/Jim Wurster), gigs on Thursday (Bamboo Room w/Wurster) and Saturday (Alligator Alley w/Charlie Pickett....The Dillengers will be in the Keys without me) and my boss is on vacation for two weeks starting Wednesday. I should be dead.

I'm prob'ly gonna be in Naples the weekend of the 25th (also, my b'day weekend, pimp, pimp) or I'd be there.
What the HELL is a fried pickle? I hope to God it's not an actual fried pickle... I'd hate to be your toilet, even more than usual.
Thursday sounds good. I'm gonna be at the Bamboom Wed. to see my friend Jeff's friend's band (Jeff who used to play guitar in my band). What time's the Sat. gig?

We're just not cool enough or good enough to hang with the big boys in this town, let's face it.
Hey I didn't know Chris Hillman had one of those SG's.
Wow. See, it must be my midwest blood that HAS to try things like fried pickles. It's an Ohio thing. We fry weird foods and make amazing creations with Jell-O molds.
Do people often suffer from arterial blockages in the Midwest?
No can do with the Jell-O. Dead stuff in there.
Pete,
That's Bill Murray.
Keith,
It was a pickle and it was really SOUR.
Saturday is late and it's gonna be LOUD!!!!....i didn't say good.
