Default Gigging Tonight!

Yee-ha! Looking forward to it. Earlier in the year I thought I'd retired and no-one had told me, but there's been a slow trickle of gigs come in (do one, get another, type thing). Already a few more in the diary for the summer so things are looking good. And it's just enough to keep me enjoying them without there being so many that it becomes a chore.

Just got in. Awesome evening. One of those nights when all the worries and cares and stresses of the rest of your life (work, basically) fade away and you realise what life is really about - you and your mates having a ball, the audience loving it, lots of people wanting to talk guitar...and, yep, got offered another gig out of it.

It was a small hotel in Ledbury, and was a Strat night. Still not confident with the Gretsch in a live situation.

Chilling out in true rock'n'roll style with a glass of water and a bag of tangy cheese Doritos now.

That's great Delboy, there's nothing like a good gig to lift the spirits, talking of which it's usually a G&T and toast when I get in from a gig.

Impossible to go straight to bed when getting back from a gig isn't it, definatly need time to come down and calm down before hitting the sack
