Why I Am So Nervous
Why am I so nervous?
Parent-teacher conferences this week…
I asked Alex over the weekend: “I’m going to sit down and talk to your teacher this week. All the kids’ parents are going to do it. What do you think your teacher is going to say to me?”
Alex: “Some good things. Some bad things.”
Me: “Oh yeah? What are some of the good things she is going to say?”
Alex: “I am getting better at writing my letters.”
Me: “Oh yeah. I noticed that.”
Alex: “Especially my 9’s”
Me: “What kind of ‘bad’ things do you think she’ll say?”
Alex: “I talk a lot.”
That’s pretty much how it went. I think his teacher and student-teacher are fantastic and even though he says his they are strict I can tell he likes school. To quote David Yow, “That pleases me to virtually no end.”
Not sure Mr. Yow felt the same way about his school years but that is neither here nor there.
Pretty excited about the wrap up show of the bigDrag ‘Ought Seven tour, opening for Blue Cheer this Friday.
We’ll shut down the live shows for awhile and start recording the new material we’ve gotten together playing these shows in a relatively short period of time. There might be one or two other songs we add as well.
Looking forward to bigDrag recordings and a new, more manageable if not doable writing project of my own.
Two more weeks until I can sit down and have a final pressing of the OKB record to play for Cousin Mike.
Pretty sure Bill will sign off on anything so long as it doesn’t interfere with his new writing gig.
He made it very clear that his plate is full and getting fuller and while he had fun doing the Amberson show I am not going to ask him to do a bunch of crazy crap. Once boats start sailing into the lake here, me & Cousin Mike should be able to find some interested and slightly mad parties to help us do something.
Something bad.
Lots going on in my head. Let’s see if I can do any of it.

I'm 41 years old. I'm not going to be involved with "something bad."
That's just my self-defecating humor. As long as you have your red guitar and clarinet, how could it possibly be bad?
I would like to write a song. Or at least the lyrics.
If you ever want to collaborate, please let me know.
