I'm a sissy 1 month ago

Started with the gusto of a downhill run…... feels like it’s all uphill now, though.



I've been back 2 months ago

but haven’t been adding the harp…. I am always trying to do new things though…. I did an all rock-a-billy thing last week…. screwed up every one of the songs I was trying to accompany my wife on…. she is such a trooper… she went again tonight… and I screwed up a little less…. ah well… good thing she sings well even through my mistakes…



Partially Successful, in a lame way at that 3 months ago

I did only Heart of Gold and Still Hanging Round. I got seriously close. I remember all the words, but it was not smooth or polished. I have such a high degree of excuse-ivity I hate to even talk about it… but of course I will. Here were my reasons why I missed my mark on these two songs:
1) my palm was damp from sticky-sweat and it affected my guitar playing. This has been my excuse one other time. I should have put baby powder in my guitar case then. I have some in there now.
2) The audio feeds my ear picks up are completely distracting. This is one of my continual excuses….. I have an idea of how I can fix me, but I haven’t bought the equipment yet…... I mean to get some sort of PA system setup for home, so I can practice having to listen to my amplified vocals and instruments and get some practice. I play and sing all week on the couch and getting on a powerful PA in a little tiny bar is way different from my couch.
Anyway, I’ll have to delay performing all of the first 5 songs until Sept 28th. Hope to complete that much that night…. I missed my mark on all 5 songs because I am a big time time waster…. I simply didn’t have anything else ready to try…. with the harp. I did do 5 songs total, just in the other 3 I didn’t use a harp.

That’s when I’m gonna do these at open mic. Time to get busy. I wanna be kinda good at it when I do it.



Here's the start of my list 4 months ago

1) Still Hanging Round by G Love…. tough song. Almost there
2) Don’t Think Twice, Dylan
3) Sweet Virginia, the Stones
4) Heart of Gold, Neil Young
5) Old Laughing Lady, Neil Young

This is set 1. Vocals, Guitar, Harp… all of it myself.

Once I can do these songs to my satisfaction I will go perform them at open mic, then pick the next 5.
