I don't have much to say about the weekend past, which ended on a good note Sunday with a lot of bass playing and my favorite ice cream.

The bass playing part was especially good because I got to support an old friend on a new project, and it really turned out well.

Working backwards, I also got some good playing in when I was invited up to jam with a band I went to see, the Midnite Mike Petroff Blues Harp Band. They let me (well, the bass player let me) stay up for a while, and it was a lot of fun. Everybody in that band is a friend, and a few are really good friends - like my friend Frank, who sat in the whole night.

This ended a great week with a lot of playing - I played every night except Friday. 

I'm still feeling the effects of the allergies, but the Flonase prescribed by the beautiful Brooke, my PCP, has certainly helped. 

Today I had another good rehearsal with I am Fool - I'm beginning to be less fearful about the gig coming up in August: J. was able to sing through the whole practice.

I'm grateful for the music I get to make.

Diet Comment

It's no surprise that I gained a little weight over the weekend. Because I am feeling better and I indulged in some Gannons ice cream Sunday night. (Gannons is a local dairy that makes what I consider the best ice cream around. It is so good I have to limit myself. Fortunately/unfortunately, Gannon's ice cream stand (which is huge) is right across the street from the Night Spot, the new bar hosting my favorite Sunday night blues jam.
