Saturday 

Good morning! 9:07 and 22 degrees from where I'm sitting. A milder day than we've had in awhile. 20 degrees or better is doable, even for this Cold Weather Wuss. I would think that doability would vary greatly, depending on how far north you are. For a Cold Weather Wuss in Minnesota or North Dakota, they might tell you 10 degrees...

Music news. A nice time last night at Boone's with Ocean State. My first visit to the new Robbie's. Your basic noisy bar, but the food was good and the waitstaff were friendly. And much of the noise was contained in the main bar area.  We didn't have any of the regular Robbie's crowd, which surprised me. I was looking forward to seeing them. Maybe there are other Cold Weather Wusses out there just like me..

This was also my first gig since last October. Back on October 7th, Played a set with the SHS Jazz Band at their concert in Duncan Park. My first time in three months playing with other musicians.

I still try and practice every day, It's taken some work, but I've developed a pretty good time-feel, Working with playalong recordings, me and various virtual bands.  Playing with other musicians is a whole different ball game though,  It's interactive.  You all make the time(or maybe I should say groove) together. I was pleased to see myself adapting better, listening better. Good time was had by all..

And it was just cool to rub elbows with musician friends I haven't seen, much less worked with in some time. As well as the music, I like the fellowship. The camaraderie. With the bassist we had last night, there are usually some good stories. Maybe we'll get those next time. 

Well that's all I've got for you for the moment. Just kickin' it here in the Lab.  On Monday I get together with José Gobbo to play some more guitar. For now, I'm taking it easy. And waiting for the fit to hit the shan as far as more Winter weather. Fun fun..

Thanks as ever for stopping in and reading. Happy Saturday to you! For now, ich bin outa here. More later.
