I stayed up *way* too late last night, and consequently slept later than I should have, dammit. I'll take one of those pills tonight.... The boys got a lot more work done today, and they'll probably finish it up this week... they're out of school today. And we still have piles of stuff that needs to go to the dump.... And I've got piles of good wood that I will use in the shop, once it's done. They should start on it next week, I hope. And I pretty much figgered out why it's so much harder to do music when I'm sober. Hang on to your hats for this one.... I'm not a very good musician. And the effect that makes me sound better when I play/sing when I'm drinking? That's because it's filtered through an alcohol-laden brain. This is not gonna keep me from playing, though. I'm just gonna have to work a lot harder to convince myself that I'm any good. Grandson Brian recently received the last of his legacy from his grandfather LeRoy... some sound equipment and a coupla bass guitars. I asked him if I could borrow one of the basses, since I'd never messed with one. Matt brought it over this evening, and I spent a few minutes playing with it... pretty cool, and not a hard instrument to play at all. It does need new strings, however, and I'll get some sometime this week. I'll get two sets, one for the one that I have and one for the one he has. I don't have a bass amp, though, but the old Randall head with the 2-12 speaker cab seem to do OK. Rattle the windows, anyway....
The time before life is long.
The future is now.
