Sing With Your Junk Out

talktoolooseI seem to be committing myself to performing at the naked cabaret on October 25. Today I chose three songs, wrote charts and picked up my guitar for the first time in 3 years. My calluses are gone but they'll return like well-trained Rotweillers. I have a pain in my back from some weird position I was strumming in, but I'll live.
I'm not entirely sure whether my keyboarding friend will actually be able to play the parts. If he can't, I can go solo. I don't have time to write him arrangements, so I hope with our two scheduled rehearsals, he can actually come up with parts.
I'm doing two originals, plus "I'm Gonna Be Strong" which is one of Cyndi Lauper's big encore numbers. I'm playing my acoustic guitar, but I will put it through a flange.
I have a nagging worry that I'm doing this gig as a perverse procrastination to avoid writing. Which is weird, since Chapter 26 is going really well.
BUT I'M WEIRD.
BTW, Outerbridge Reach, which I referenced a few entries back, turns out to be one of the best books I ever read. It is tough... not so much literarily, but in terms of the things it makes you question in your life. Probably more so if you're middle aged.
