I just noticed I haven't written anything for a few weeks now. My apologies. No excuses, but the explanation is that it is laziness more than lack of inspiration, and busy-ness and along with the need for long periods of recuperation in the form of passive laying around.
To catch up, I will say that I've been playing a lot, mostly with Modafferi. Due to logistical problems, I am Fool hasn't been very active, although it is a huge presence, and still my Number One Priority. There have been sub gigs, too. This month, up until I leave for my annual LA visit next week, I am the house bass at the Sunday Rooters jam, where everything started for me in Syracuse.
In between the paid gigs, I do a lot of playing at open mics. They're always fun for me, and they are the foundation of my social life as well.
When I'm not playing, I'm relaxing. Usually that happens in bed, secondarily in my recliner, the only chair in my apartment. I relax in front of a screen. Mostly it's a computer screen, although arriving home after a gig, it's usually television, which puts me quickly to sleep in the above-mentioned recliner.
I have no doubt that all that screen time is disrupting sleep time, but it usually doesn't affect me until I have a late gig, when I get really tired towards the end.
I think it is very mammalian to do nothing at all in between activities.
This weekend, I'm meeting up with old friends, from my early college days at CCNY. I demand of myself that I go more than half way when it comes to maintaining friendships. It is the least I can do in service to something so important, so essential in my life.
Sunday is my last day of sitting in the bass chair at Rooters for the year. I could have done October, but I will be in LA for the first Sunday, so that is out.
At this time, after Sunday I have only one more gig booked in 2018 - but it has been a great year for playing, beginning with my time in Chiang Mai, where I played almost like I did at home.
Of course, some more gigs will probably come my way when I get back from LA.
But, whatever will be, will be. I'm so grateful for the bounty of love, friendship and music that is mine, I face the future with confidence that it will arrive, with me or without. If I'm still around, the future will arrive with the same kind of unfolding that has provided me with the confidence that things work out, and I will, as always, try to acquiesce to the present moment.
