Le Mans

Amp, second guitar, stands etc. going in the PA van. Taking my no.1 strat, fx, and cable-bag in the band bus. Leave early on Friday morning. A couple of new songs to learn. No set list as yet, which would enable me to put my 'book' in running order: oh well. Gig Friday evening. This is going to be one long day. Been trying to practice and my hands ache. Really not match-fit. Bleurgh! Tomorrow looks like a complete lock out until I've learned these newbies. Bugger.

We won't stay for the race: too many of us have too many things to do, and I'm uxorious enough, despite the normal levels of rock 'n' roll sleaziness endemic to many of my calling, to prefer being at home with SWMBO.

Gods, I grow old....I grow old,
I shall wear the bottoms of my trousers rolled...
