johnny9fingersI have work to do.
I'm gigging this weekend at a Hunt Ball in Gloucestershire. Two 90 minute sets. I will have to take precautionary measures to stop my hands cramping up. I've found that salt helps. I won't come off stage until about 2am.
I won't get home until about 5am.
Advice for all you budding guitarists and other musicians out there: try to have someone awake in the car beside you to stop you falling asleep at the wheel. Either that or employ roadies....but function bands don't really stretch to roadies, dammit. Ah well, if I didn't enjoy playing with this band I would have bailed by now. Also, when I didn't have any money whatsoever, the money from gigs helped pay the bills.
Somehow I don't think I do it for the money, no matter how much of a hard-bitten professional I try to appear.
I have to get the first draft of the children's story together asap, but I think that will have to wait until after Sunday.
Go well and do good things.
