on the road again…
Friday, April 3rd, 2009Thirty one hours until I leave for North Carolina. It’s been years since any sort of travel for a gig. I did clock in almost 100 gigs more than 150 miles from home back in 2001 or 2002, but that was long before I even met my loverly wife. She was commenting on how, when we met, I didn’t really present myself as a musician. I told her I worked part time in a CD store, which I did - rather poorly. I tried to explain that at that time, late 2003, I had left the whole “jam-band” thing. Fun scene, but couldn’t see myself ten years later still wearing t-shirts and jeans “noodling” around the same two or three chord vamps watching college trustifarians pack another bowl with some strain of something laced with something exotic that I always thought was either an oven cleaner or made in a trailer equipped with three Bunsen burners too many.
Tomorrow night the Nuns will be at the Venetian Clubin Philadelphia. We end at 12:30am. By some miracle I will be in bed and fully rested when I hit the road 6:45am with Melissa. The rest of the band is leaving tomorrow, lucky bastards. Sleep is all but over-rated.
