the boot
show last night was fun. driving the 7 hours round-trip was rough.
it was interesting to have a show sans guitars. it made my part much more audible, and I filled in with chords and tried to sound guitar-y at times. I think it worked, though. we got asked back in november, but we aren’t doing any more shows this year. it was nice to know that we were received well.
I need to clear my musical palette, I think. I need to play and write some music that is simple and non-fussy. requires no thinking. i have been doing that a lot lately and it’s worn me out. not to mention practicing for Philly is harrowing.
speaking of that, I should go do that. I must push through on songs that I come up with. I get halfway done with them and then get too scared to go on, thinking that I’ll make it sound horrible. shame on me! if the lyrics suck i can change them. if the melody sucks I can change it, too. no more self pity!
