TWO FOR ONE…OH BOY!

I asked for one gig a month. For the most part, I get that. But here’s a twist in my matrix…a double header!?

There isn’t enough coffee in the world.

Bob Lamb, bassist with many cover bands, asked me today if I could possibly do two shows on the same day September 27th. HUH?! I’m a pro so I said yes of course. It will be a long day but a good one.

The first show will be with his band Rubber Duckie Riot at Hawthorne Day in Hawthorne, NJ (of course!) But wait, was I supposed to debut with them on Halloween? Now that will be the second show so this will be the NEW debut. Their guitarist can’t make it so I got the nod. We will only play a one-hour set, in and out.

But then…two hours later (said in French voice ala SpongeBob)…

Bob and I will jackass up to Airport Pub in Sussex, NJ for another gig that starts at 9! I am already tired for next Saturday! This band is called Spare Parts, and it’s basically guys from other bands, hence the name. And it’s more or less a “wing it” thing. Should be a lot of fun but wow I hope to summon up the strength for this.

I am not complaining at all. In fact, I am super grateful for these opportunities. The first half of this year was really slow but since June, it’s been gradually picking up steam. Now this…ZOOM!! Oh, and I got more private students, so all slots are booked. I am back to teaching six days a week, three in the store, three private lessons. I will have Saturdays off and that’s fine with me. My schedule is busy again but relaxed just the same.

In my world, that makes sense somehow.
