Notes:

So here it is.  My final get together with Glen as he is two days away from returning back to the desert.  I originally wanted Glen to help with For What It's Worth but he had to get back home to finish up the packing and moving.

I had no idea what I was going to do tonight.  I didn't practice any songs and against my boss's wishes took a day off just to hang with Glen one more time.

Katy Merifield asked if  I was still playing with the Boy Scout Hippies to which I said not at the moment.  Maybe never..  Ron showed up later to say hi, but his wife ignored me.  Perhaps she didn't know me since I had my fedora hat on, but then again I had that on me when I played in Monticello last month.

I should consider putting together a song list, just in case my mind wonders and I can't think of anything to do.   You Tell Me Why made a rare appearance,probably the first time I ever played it live.  There was a modification to Logic And Lies to the riff and changing one of the words in the final chorus.   And then for a grand finale, Jim wanted to hear another original so I dug up Does It Matter,diked around with the riff to Hole In The Head before settling with Cinnamon Girl.  A lot of improvisation on these songs tonight.

I cleared out more shelf space and sold 70 dollars worth of CDs before going to the jam. It doesn't seem to be much difference on the shelf space in the music room but the dew room it's getting to look less crowded.  I still got tons of CDs laying around and I'm sure I'll go out bargain hunt some more.  In fact, I found a newer copy of Dark Side Of The Moon for 2 dollars at Stuff Etc. That should be worth a bit more in trade. I'm sure Half Price Books will get their payment back with the Trouble CDs I gave them or Steve Morse Band.  They complimented me on giving them good stuff. I held off giving them the junk CDs that nobody wants.

Who was there, Gregdon Cole, Katy, a husband/wife band, Darryl and Phil and of course Patrick Lower who continues to make me sound good.  Tony Nickles no longer works for Urban Pie and swore he would be there but wasn't.  Steve Black Wolf didn't feel well enough to make it.   Guitar Dave was busy and Shawn Ster simply disappeared.  Dave remained angry that he wasn't included for Woodstock Marion, Jim pointed out that all Dave had to do was to let him know he was interested.  When Jim asked me about playing for Boy Scout Hippies, I told him my guess is no.  They have a new drummer but maybe things will change once work dies down.  I also told Jim that I won't be part of the Dreams Of Arcadia gigs this month, I may try to show up for their April 27th Bo Macs gig and support them.  Ryan got thrown in Facebook Jail for posting something he shouldn't.  Probably something that pissed off the liberals and got ratted out.    Again it is what it is.  Social media bull cookies.

There'll be a farewell party for Glen tomorrow night but I have to work regardless, that's why I took the night off.  Perhaps when I get to Arizona once again, I'll look Glen and Lauren up and jam a while. I miss them already.

Over the weekend, Julie worked on getting a more suitable video for the Dancemor Swisher gig that I helped them with.  This time out, the gimmicky shots that Kevin Simnacher took were edited out, which is fine in my book.   I picked the extended version over the short one due to the fact that Wagon Wheel is not in the extended version and it has most of Stealing Time, Julie's ecology song.  But as people continue to wonder about the future and my participation in DOA, let me remind y'all that DOA is Julie and Ryan's band, and anybody who play percussion is up to them.   It's also like that with Boy Scout Hippies, if I can find the time to help them out, I will.  Right now, my regular job is first, spring processing and schools are pushing their tests to us to get them scanned and sent back.  Once everything dies down in June, we'll see what happens, but judging from what I have witness tonight, I wouldn't hold my breath.

Besides, I have something called The Townedgers that need my attention.
