I’m Glad I Wasn’t In Charge
Gig report?!
Yesterday’s gig was… different. To be honest, I can’t comment on it very much because almost all I could hear was drums, bass, and a little bit of me. But I could tell there were some rough spots and Ant, the bandleader, talked with the band about how he felt afterwards. I’m guessing a lot of that was because of people not being able to hear themselves or each other.
Even worse, though, was that some band members showed up Very Late. We were supposed to be there at 4, do a soundcheck around 5, and play at 6. I left the house later than I planned, and got there shortly after 4. Turns out that I was the first one there besides Ant. The last arrivals showed up around 6:15. Apparently, they got lost on the way.
Despite all that, I had fun. I wish I could say I nailed every tune, but I know I didn’t. I dealt with the problems as best as I could and allowed myself to enjoy what I was doing. I can’t really do any more than that.
