Promises Promises

I know I said I’d probably write a post about what happened last week at rehearsals and before the gig, but right now it’s just not coming. I’ve either said as much as I’m going to say about it for now (see the previous post) or I’m processing it subconsciously and thus dealing with it. In fact, I spent so much time talking about it with Lori and thinking about it last week that I’m a little surprised I wrote the post I later pulled at all. I think if I do write about the subject, it will be in the context of another “incident” that triggers it again, or maybe something will happen that should have triggered it but all this processing will allow me to handle it or handle it better.

Next week, rehearsals start up again for Collective Hallucination. The next gig with them is August 12. The timing of that one is a bit of a bummer. Ian Moore is reuniting with his old band for a few shows, and that conflicts with one of the Houston dates he is doing. The other is Thursday the 11th, but I doubt we’ll make that. That’s the nature of being in this business.

I’ll be jamming again with Jeff soon, and Lori may join us. That should be fun. I got together with him a couple of weeks ago. We were both pretty rusty. I’m still somewhat dependent on an external source of rhythm, and because I haven’t touched most of that material since the band broke up, I haven’t tried to develop it in that way. Having Lori there will help if she can join us. I won’t call it a Blue Funk reunion. I’d rather leave it without a name, at least for now. Jams are fun, and that’s what I’m in this for.
