Monday Night At World

Monday Night at the world. 

My rooftop restaurant gig in Anaheim cancelled because of the weather, she's gonna reschedule me probably Dec or Jan. Been putting in for every festival I can find for 2017. 
Recording tomorrow with Rich McCulley -gonna have to work hard. 

Lesson Wednesday. 

Weird looping recording at gallery in Santa Monica Thursday- a soundtrack for the exhibit they tell me (they can throw it away, if they don't like it) - (but I think I can do it, so) 

Sunday The Hat Factory rehearsal. 

Oh, and a Thursday Farmer's Market in Anaheim downtown. Something just keeps popping up. 
Sent out 15 come-ons to convalescent homes yesterday, actually got a couple good responses. It beats the markets for cash flow, $30.00/$50.00 for an hour as opposed to spending three hours at a market for the same money. Got a repeat birthday party gig in Nov. 

If anyone noticed my You tube of Country Roads, it was really put up for the Convalescent come-ons. 

There was a looky loo for a resident playwright at a Pasadena Theater Company on Craigslist list tonight- I waved my arm: "I KNOW THE ANSWER!!!" at them. I'm desirous of that one. 

Plotting to put my brilliant guitarist son on this new song while he's through here in December. 

Worried because my 1000s of hours at Farmers Markets have suddenly gone away. Where will I practice? Why is this happening? Maybe it's the forces saying its time to move on. But where will I practice for 3-4 hours every weekend? This was my way of making up for the twenty years I wasn't playing while everyone else I know was. 

Anybody got arthritis? My right shoulder is beginning to hassle me. How will I get to 120 BPM if my body gets too old? Oh well. This is really so much fun!!!


My first real country song:

New Song: but it's really in the key of E (capo'd up) 

D
Toni at the counter at the A & W
G
Wrote her name on my hand in ink
D
Didn’t wash it for a long long week
G
Kept in my pocket so nobody’d see it
D
She even told me she thought I was sweet
G
I was so stupid, boy was I stupid

CHORUS
G           A                 Bm                      A
D           A                 Bm                      A
I want that again, Can I have that back again
D           A                  Bm                      A
Just like it was        then
G           A                  Bm                     A       A

D
First honeymoon night at Grandma’s in Kansas
G
Truck and trailer outside ready to go
D
That old bed squeaked like thunder
G
We were sure we kept her up till dawn
D
Then biscuits and eggs and she’d always cry
G
When we drove off to the Utah sky

CHORUS

D
Teaching the boy how to play baseball
G
On the floor with the little Disney pieces
D
Making like Micky Mouse to make him giggle
G
D
Adding a door to the playhouse to make her a study
G
So she could hang with her books and her animal buddies
D
Both were something and they didn’t waste any time
G
To be gone

CHORUS

D                                    G
Sitting with wine and a little buzz
Bm                                             A
Watching the mountains in another sunset
D                        G
Just after making love

CHORUS


Capo to second fret

Title: I Want That Again
