8x10 show

been too long
good friends since
my keys have
been pushed, greased
from butter fingers.

8x10 show was
grande... sparse... electric...
small but happy
crowd, sold cd's
and made new
friends. yes. success.

made me re-think
the whole sense
of stage volume
loud and piercing.
some more shows
coming and looming
in the distance.

i'm looking forward
to this year.
busy year... buzzy
nights... many shows...
many bar gigs
three hours of
chugging through material
honing and chopping
the songs and
the tunes. promoting
and hoping. management
lurks in our
near future eh?

putting together the
tour schedule for
next year and
looking at certain
goals... email addresses
electronic hello's and
goodbyes... our van
will drift into
many parking lots.
i suppose. it's
true... all this
while teaching full
time next year...
hmph. looking at
a new amplifier
today, the mesa
boogie express 5 25
maybe it will
happen and then
again, maybe it
won't.

hearts and stars
