It was a Hotel Bar. About the size you would expect. There was a guy doing sound. I went on early, played a 45 minute set instead of thirty minutes. I guess they liked me. Parked across the street for $4 and was stubbed by the lady that came on after me. We had been friendly on advertising it, but she acted like I didn't exist. I was going to stay and listen, but I didn't. So much for hoping for a full blown club. Good applause.

New Song
New song!
Dreamt the chorus yesterday morning (and remembered it with the video of it in my head) Wrote a verse in car yesterday as I was driving errands and finished it today. Like falling off a log. I don't know how this happens, but it sure is a lot of fun this way rather than taking hours and days and it still not right. Video to come eventually. Don't have a title yet. Send me suggestions.

What I've been doing
Sos, I decided to replace the twenty year carpet in my studio. It was worn and torn and coming apart at the seams and after a few years of musicians spilling beer on it (me included) I decided it was time. I called folks in to give me quotes. Everyone wanted 5k to 7 k to do it. I looked at the cost and realized if I did it myself it would cost about a thousand. So here's what it looked like before:
I had one of the bears draw a picture on the sub-floor before we had the carpet laid. I thought his twin sister had drawn one too, but I couldn't find it. It might have been replaced when I had to do some water damage repair in a couple of places. The bear now:
The drawing which covered up intact again:
Assorted thing I rediscovered: All the college baseball caps I supported over the years: USC, The Sorbonne, Bard At Simon's Rock, Chapman University, Stevens Institute of Technology.
I consolidated and cleaned out books no longer needed for my biography of Helena De Kay Gilder when I'm in a wheelchair and can't do anything else. Check out the Web site http://helenadekaygilder.org/
So this is the way it looks now.
Got rid of all of my CDs, the music was all ripped and on a hard drive as I went over the years. Kept these for a lamp table
And the last but not least, the door I had to custom cut to make fit: 35 3/4" by 6' 6"Did it slow and carefully with a hand saw.
