Notes:

Maki Dervo led off the acoustic jam for that rare time.  Me and Glenn were discussing a song that Maki and I did last night and I remembered the title.  Now I have forgotten it again.

Dave Bonham did Love The One You're With so I ended up playing I Won't Back Down.

I'm slowly trying to get back into playing guitar and singing despite the constant depression that binds over me.  It's not easy but I do have the support of Glen Gardner, Carl Meiners and Dave Bonham who was there tonight and with help from Aaron and Lane Gaffney.  I have to choose to either play Stone City or Rumors, and while the Rumors jam had plenty of musicians (I hope) I wanted to stay around close to home.  Gaining an hour back was welcomed but not the 5 oclock sunset and darkness.  Not that we had sunshine, it rained all day.  But  Daylight Savings Time is over. We are now in the darkness.

Depression isn't fun and the slowly coming of my life winding down doesn't help either.  Bruce Stanley passed when he was 57.  I've outlived him and still miss him two years after the fact.

Joe Greene and I have been high school friends but he never seems to chat with me when he's up at the General Store and of course he left during my set.    Maybe I don't have friends.  I never get much support from them when I do play live.  It's pointless to complain about it.  Hardly anybody pays much attention to the starving artist anymore.  I do what I can.


The waitress, was spot on, always checking to see if we need a refill and in the process got Bill Schlatter a bit tipsy, giving him three drinks before his set of songs.  He came back and asked me what I thought of his version of Folsom Prison Blues.  I looked at him and say, you actually played it?

And I still can't remember that song Maki Dervo did last night to close our Waubeek set. And it's driving me crazy.
