Post 1789, Day 9 of 2017

Since the end of September, I have been worried slightly concerned about my playing opportunities, as venues closed or stopped their open mics, and gigs dried up.
One thing that occurred to me was that maybe this was when the music was over for me, and it was time to go to plan B, emigrating to another country.
I decided that would only happen when I was certain there would not be a turnaround - when there was proof that things had gone dry. After all, a couple of months of paltry gigs and insecurity was just music dues, normal, and, maybe, to be expected when things had been going so well for years.
That was a good call.
I mentioned in yesterday's post that, within days of the new year, I had accepted a spot in a band that will play nine or ten gigs in 2017. I agreed to be house bass in a new open mic, and I'm seeing if I can find a time to rehearse with another new band.
Today, I found i am Fool another gig in January.
It is shaping up to be a pleasantly busy music year for me.
Beginning now. I got the set list for the new band (Chris Terra and the Heat, btw) and it contains forty-five songs, and while I am familiar with a majority of them, I've never played about forty of them(!). I have some work cut out for me.
How wonderful! I'm so grateful.
