johnny9fingersGigging tonight, and I really don't fancy it.
Ah well.
It's the 'Function Band' and we're playing three hour long sets (15 minute breaks) for an end-of-term ball for the parents of children in a private school in Kent. There may be cramping of hands ahead. The bastards have kept 'Beat it' in the set....I do hope this one has extra money. Last year this gig provided some of the most leery behaviour from chaps in penguin suits and expensively underdressed women with a newly acquired sense of privilige. Definitely the best looking underwear I've seen flashed at me for some time....but I'm too middle aged to notice really, excepting in passing. (Keep trying to convince yourself of this, my dear.)
Given the weather has turned into what we can only call 'The English Monsoon' I get the feeling that all naughtiness (which traditionally at these sort of occasions takes place outdoors) will be suspended due to rain. This means that they'll concentrate on the entertainment, which is us.....So despite slight lack of preparation (mea culpa) we had better be up to scratch.
I could do with an expensively underdressed woman of elegance and wit, myself, dammit. But, as I have found to my cost from time to time: I really can't afford them, and few of them can afford me.
I'll live.
