doing my homework

THURSDAY 8/23/18 9:48AM--getting ready for tonight's open mic...I have a cheat sheet for the CCR song I'm singing and a chord sheet for the Aretha song Bonnie is singing...I think she's also singing BECAUSE THE NIGHT...dunno for sure if Angela is gonna sing SOMEBODY TO LOVE, but I hope so...I plan to have it ready by the time I leave the house...

10PM- I had such high hopes for this evening; it hasn’t turned out the way I thought it would…  to a considerable degree, tonight has sucked so far... in spite of having a cheat sheet, I fucked up the lyrics to have you ever seen the rain ...Angela did (at best) a fair job on SOMEBODY TO LOVE... The house band didn’t do such a good job on it either… Dorothy was her usual tuneless self...

11:30PM- it got better; not a lot better, but better...

12:45AM- and then it got even better… It helped having Angela on stage-for whatever that may be worth...as for the gig with Ray, I don't expect any guests, except of course Cory...that's almost enuff to make me wanna stay home--but I told him I was coming, so...I'll go...I hope I'm wrong about the turnout...
