Notes:

In between a monsoon, we celebrated the big guy's birthday with a new pair of drum sticks and five interesting songs of different arrangements, except for a belch on Back in the UssR, it was a cool performance.

Other drummers: Mike Lint, DJ Hovenstot, Herm Sarduy, Rick Krecji, Sir Bob Miller and Kim Bean (8 drummers all total). Kim showed up with Craig DeWitte, who still can't remember me from yesterday. 

Dave Bonham was there with a new date, Della McMenomy (who used to go with Tommy).  Small world indeed.  Herm was asking about Belinda James to which he made her mad and she's not talking to him.  Miss B has been keeping a low profile of late.  

Yesterday, I took part in Phil Bo's Quarantine jam at his place for a couple hours and got to jam with Captain Kirksey and Chuck Savage once again, Jim from California played drums before leaving.  I managed to last two hours before going home and going back to bed due to exhaustion from working 10 to 12 hour nights and allergy issues.   With spring processing winding down, I might get time once again to frequent the other jams on weeknights.  Thought about an  Mad City getaway on the week Julie goes to the west coast to visit family but she wants me to housesit.  Jules is supposed to help out Ryan Paul at Checkers but the thinking is that Dave will replace Ryan on Friday.  In all fairness, I wish Julie would put an end once and for all about Dreams Of Arcadia playing again.  I haven't spoken with Ryan at all but the tire place he runs has consumed all of his time. 

It was 10 years ago, that Nicole, my former love, moved to be with me, but the 11 months she was here, we  never seem to be on the same page.  She is slated to be married in July with the guy she has been seeing the past five years and I wish them all the best.  Nicole was a big supporter of the Townedgers but she never did see me play live, which might have saved our relationship had I been playing   We shared some good times but in the end it wasn't destined to be.  

Camp Run A Mack happens next Saturday.  Never been there but perhaps I might surprise the gang.  Week night jams will not be happening till the temps are been laid off.
