Feelin confident with tomarrows gig. These guys I'm working
with have come along pretty quickly with the Country stuff.
My friend the stand in lead guitar player has been invaluable.
Calling for 87 degrees and clear. Two sets one at 1:40 and again
at 4:40. Am going to record it and plan on posting it to my profile.
Then I will have a face.

Sounds like you're well prepared. Best o' luck, man.

Break a leg Klugmo! It's a strange expression, have to wonder the details of how that one came about? It doesn't sound like it was anything graceful.

It started with those superstitious actors. It's considered bad luck to wish someone good luck, so they started to say "break a leg."

With muso's, I find it works to simply say "break a string," cuz it sounds so much less painful, & you can still have a good time even if you bust a string...

Unless you are playing a guitar with a whammy on it. Then all hell breaks loose when you break a string during a song.

When I used to play the clubs on lower 4th st in this town there were always at least 4 bands playing in different clubs up and down the street. We would all run the strip on our breaks to hear each others band. My friend who was a lead picker was next door one night when I came through the back door of the club. When I was passing the bandstand I reached up and detuned two of the strings on his guitar while he was taking a ride. I thought it was funny. Evidently way funnier than he thought it was.
Back then we had to wear suits. Talcum powder sprinkled on the drummers throne was great for a laugh. Limburger cheese planted in the Christmas stockings that hung from the singers mike was another great prank. It usually took them a while to figure out where that smell was coming from. Needless to say we all had some great times back in those days.

I hope you have a great time and everything goes well.

Sounds good...look forward to hearing it and seeing your face.

Break a leg man, or a string or hell just break something.
Were playing the 4th and will probably be out past my bedtime.
Hour and a half drive to the venue. But it's worth he trip IMO
Have a blessed weekend and be safe,.

Thank you guys. It means a lot to me to hear that since
I can be such a butt to people here sometimes.

Which one of hasn't had our turn Klugmo

Well perhaps there are a few exceptions

The one thing I have been most impressed and pleased about being a member of this community is in fact despite many social and even musical differences you can pretty much depend on support for your musical ventures.

Along with some brutally honest opinions.
