a new beginning

         MONDAY 9/10/18 7:50PM- I just talked to Oz Smith… My first rehearsal with the Oz Review is scheduled for next Wednesday at 7 PM, in Falls Church Virginia... and he’s given me two of John Donovan’s songs to learn YOU CAN’T ALWAYS GET WHAT YOU WANT and LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH... I expected something like this to happen; I knew it would feel weird, and it does… If the Review  is busy enough, I can easily give up my position with the Combustibles...
        Oz  doesn’t seem to play in Montgomery county very often; I am going to ask him why that is…

          I’m not sure what’s wrong with my Mail app, but I’m considering replacing it with the official Gmail app… But first I’m going to go to the Verizon Store and check with them-hopefully they’ll know what to do... it’s STILL very very frustrating to me...

     And now I am beating myself up over the selection of the Epiphone as my new acoustic guitar...Surely I’ve learned  my lesson…All of this anxiety over a hasty purchase...my own impatience is to blame...knowing that makes me feel worse...It IS  easier to play, and from what I can tell, it sounds good amplified…and, as I noted earlier, Lou says it sounds good  un-amplified... there really is no use crying over spilled milk...to some degree, I have to force myself to wait until Wednesday before I go to the Verizon store...very frustrating...

   8:52PM- -slowly but surely I’m starting to think about possibly being a permanent member of the Oz review...that’s rather exciting…

11:10PM- due to unforeseen circumstances, Lou had to cancel…So I probably will go to the Verizon store tomorrow morning-and hope for the best...

TUESDAY 7:50AM--undecided about going to the IPO...or at least which guitar I would take with me...I want Eric to check it out...very nervous about going to Verizon...I will try not to let them talk me into doing something I don't really wanna do...

11:52AM--went to Verizon...installed the Gmail app onto my phone...don't EVEN ask me how, but I ultimately sent the MSR recording into my iTunes Library...

12:59PM--made the CD for Michelle...dunno if it works yet...LATER-yeah, it works...
3:40PM--broke the G string (.023) on "Epi"...don't have a replacement...I'm kinda sorry I didn't keep the Crafter...well, now I know what I'm taking to the IPO...
