Well crew, we are at the close of another year. What lies ahead is never a given but we all plan in one way or another.
For me, as I settle in on my non-career life plan, I am in process of setting up my first ever gig. And no, it's not a professional thing, far from it. Just a small intimate (hopefully) gathering of friends and family in a very rustic rural location. Inverter generators for powering the amps and p/a, and it's outdoor so hopefully we don't need a whole lot of makeshift shelters from rain. Not even sure if I'm running solo or if my 3 playing buddies will tag in or not but we're working at it. I'm good with either option, but certainly not afraid to cut the umbilical if any of them waffle at all. I will not buckle under any artistic differences at all, this is my baby 100% or combine yer sex and travel. It's several/many months away though so have a ton of time to settle things, but we all know how time and deadlines get blurred and it will be here before I know it.
But enough of the what if stuff. The main thing is I want everyone to have a pleasant, fun, safe and Happy New Year. What is in the past is history, tomorrow is merely a concept until it happens. Live life like there is no tomorrow, within reason and sensibility of course. Last summer was very painful for our family and left a hole in our hearts that will never fully heal. But we go on. And damn the torpedoes.
Keep on rockin' my PRS fam!
