I enjoyed my return to Shugga's

I didn't really feel like going Friday; I'd had a sore throat all week and was tired, and wanted to to go to the dance...but I really had fun. It was a smaller group of performers, which was nice because it didn't drag that way, and we got through everyone exactly twice before the time was up. I played Tidal the best I have in a long while, and despite my cold I sang well. Robin sang with Walt backing her up on guitar and Jim playing washboard percussion, and it sounded really terrific!

So much demand for CD...it's quite flattering. :-) But people will probably not remain so kind if I keep putting it off.

7:50am, my alarm clock (and my watch alarm, since I've been ignoring the other one lately) went off, and I sort of rolled over to turn on my radio. I called my dad to make sure we were recording it, then got back in bed. It's a wonder I didn't fall asleep through the whole thing, I was so tired...I managed to stay awake uptil 8:30 when Clint put the recording on, and then listened to it, my eyes closed most of the time because I was just that tired (and I didn't even go to bed that late!). Oh, wait, I did fall asleep a couple of times...I missed the beginning of the third round: Gus' interview and song and my interview, but I lapsed back into consciousness in time for the Shugga's plug and Tidal. Out of the four, I played that one the worst...not that anyone but myself or Juliet, my vocal teacher, would know that.

Gotta get going on the CD now, I know...

I guess it was cool to hear myself on the radio...but it was almost like listening to a CD, you know? I guess the real concept of it, and that people I've never met were listening, just hasn't sunk in. Eh.
