it's going to dip into the 20's this week...i've got my uggs out and all shined up...i might need to do some shopping for layers...i've got plenty, but i just might need some more...brrrrr.
this whole last week i was still high from the weekend...saw many people asking how i felt about the evening...i really don't think i would do anything different...if anything, i would have lost 10 more lbs and practiced a bit more...;-)
i had a few last minute gigs this weekend...my incredibly talented artist friend, jo quillin tomson had an art show at watermark...she had mentioned me selling my cd's there, and i offered to play for a bit...everyone there are h20mark (my friend karen gave me that one) is amazing...so very nice and accommodating...they are selling my cds there for a nominal cut...i've been watching the crowson's play there for a number of years, and have loved that venue...it was a real honor to play there...
i got a call on thanksgiving from jeffrey of 'delores and the pickin' fretter' wanting advice on how to handle an almost lost voice (jenny's allergies had taken over)...i recommended what i would have done...lots of warm tea with lemon and honey and zinc lozenges...a few minutes later was a message from jenny too with a coarse almost there voice on the other end...asking if i would be willing to fill in a short set just in case her voice wouldn't return by the next day...if it did, just give her voice a break, so it doesn't have to sing the whole night?!? i said of course, and it fit right in after h20mark...;-) it's always a pleasure singing with those guys...they sound so good together, and the sofa kings (i love that!) are always such a nice addition to the folky duo...
after 2 thanksgiving dinners and 2 gigs, plus my day job, i ended out the weekend (which felt like one extra day - very nice) working on lucille (a 1965 airstream that my friend who happens to be a boy - i.e. my boy toy - and i are fixing up)...we got her totally gutted, and now it's time to paint!
time to go update her facebook page with new pictures...have a great week, and i'll speak to you monday, and give a full report of 'guitars for kids' that is this saturday night at the artichoke...i think i talked mark foley and gary into coming late after the bella gig and playing with me!?
yahoo!!
til then,
nikki
