Corrections
It's an unfortunate aspect of blogging: caught up in all the excitement of the typing and the ideas racing through cyberspace, sometimes one plays fast and loose with the facts. In order to undo all the potential harm of a FACTUALLY INCORRECT weblog (if such a thing can be imagined), the following corrections and changes must be made vis-a-vis my last posting. Thank you for your patience.
1) I somehow neglected to mention how, when we got to our gig (music job: when you're in a band, a job is a GIG) yesterday, I pulled all the drums out of the car and PART OF THE DRUMS WERE MISSING and I immediately spiralled into a depressed panic, wondering what to do, sure, sure, I could get through the gig(job) with the stuff I had, but I would be fretting over what happened to the rest of my stuff, and where did I leave the floor tom anyway, anything might have happened to it, ANYTHING, and now I wouldn't have a floor tom and some dirtbag from some other band or some drunk guy probably carried it out of the High Noon Saloon where I must have left it and what the fuck was I gonna do if I had to play Sing Sing Sing without a floor tom, WHAT?
Luckily, K (really her initial, I'm not trying to be Kafka or anything) heroically threw herself into the fray, volunteering to drive the mile or two to the High Noon to see if my floor tom was still there while I set up the rest of my stuff. It turned out it was. I had left it sitting around the day before when packing up, the result of my aging and decrepit brain. Now I have all my drums back because K saved the day. Thanks, K!
2) I wasn't exactly fired from the Cherry Pop Tarts burlesque show. What happened was, they asked me to play a couple of shows on a weekend last summer, which I did. Then they asked me to play maybe three more times in the following months but I was unavailable and so they eventually just got someone else.
3) I misspelled the kind of stripper-drummer slacks I wore as "Hagar", when the correct spelling is Haggar.
Thank you for your patience and understanding.
