Wait no...it IS this week

[merchimerch]

Oh man. I got called for a gig last friday, to play about 10 minutes of music for a school show with the Central Asian dance troupe I used to play with before I left for the field.

I thought the gig was a week from Friday...turns out nope - it's THIS Friday - as in 3 days away.

I think I have enough music and talking to make it work, but MAN I was looking forward to chilling out a bit and giving myself a longish weekend.

That said, some cash and performing experience is worth it.

Now the grand debate is whether or not to use my master dutar, or use my emergency back up dutar (since dutar sub 2 is still broke). I'm leaning toward the master dutar, but I'm nervous to take it places. That said, what use is a master dutar if it never gets played?

I think you should get someone to video you so we can all share in your music. Just a suggestion but one I've thought for a while. I've never heard a dutar......

The gig's in Anaheim - it's a school show. And it's soon but I've had this song and dance down for years. I have 4 songs that I can pull out remarkably quickly. I ran through them last night on the master dutar and it was fine.

Actually it was better than fine - it was like chocolate and sex all wrapped into one. I always wonder why I ever take breaks from that instrument.
