return of the rock 'n' roll secretary

trying to get a coupla stoogeband gigs booked. one will definitely be at fonky fred's on sat'day, 4.5.2008, at a benefit for the fort worth burrito project. just trying to make sure there won't be a time conflict with a gig hembree has with goodwin in dallas later that same night. teague is doing the heavy lifting for the chat room; hoping we'll be able to get a date in march, what with sxsw 'n' all.

have actually been practicing gtr in my newly-refurbed music room which now boasts jesse and greg bahr's coltrane sun ship painting that usedta hang on the stage at the wreck room (r.i.p.). there's a lotta detail there i always missed because it was covered by curtains. the canvas still has some of the smell of el wreck, which i perversely like. thinking about sittin' in with the wednesday night jamcats at lola's, and hoping for word on another kamandi show.

i'm going to have my debut singing in public at my middle dtr's wedding in april. they're having a "musical gift" segment of their reception, during which friends of theirs who play 'n' sing will get to do so. i wouldn't have offered, but my dtr asked me to sing "waterloo sunset," so i'm busily working on rememberizing the lyrics and trying to figure out how i'm going to hit that low note at the end of each verse. (i know i could transpose it but then i'd have _two_ things to remember. pathetic.)
