DL: Try, try, try again...

He who gives in first loses. Nobody wants to be labeled a quitter. Sure I may have thought about it just b/c I could, but no, I'm not gonna stop b/c Memphis bombed. It's 4th of July weekend...speaking of which fellow artists touring out there, or simply doing a show of any kind, remember this word of advice: There will ALWAYS be something going on! Whether it's "Hey man, I was coming but had to put the kids to bed and..." or "Hey man, do you know that Biz Makrie is in town the same night as your show, sorry bro" or my favorite "You know college is out for the summer right?" But I digress...

I'm headed to Cincinnati (never played), Columbus, OH (never played), and Indianapolis, IN (never ever played). Great odds right, why am I doing this again...am I walking into a self-made boobie trap! Who knows. I've been practicing, which is what I do after I've soaked in my sorrows for a day or so. I come back like Ali (Louisville reference)...with sweat short (cut off sweatpants), a wife beater (can't beat what you don't have), and the same dam* shoes I wear every else cuz who can afford "play shoes" at a time like this. My bass player got a gig at B.B. Kings so therefore I'm riding solo this weekend. I was gonna get a friend to go but then I decided this weekend alone might be good for me. So up north I go...we shall meet if we meet.
