2 Jan – Eddie’s Attic (Atlanta, GA)

Okay. I’m really sorry. But I honestly remember very little. For those of you who weren’t there I have… something. The flu, I suppose, but it’s nasty whatever it is. The day before the show I didn’t leave the bed. The show went well from all accounts. The crowd was a good size and I was actually sort of surprised by that. I didn’t recognize a lot of the people there, I don’t know if they were fans of other people or just new people, but they stayed for the whole show. Thanks to you, new people!
I’m trying, I really am. But I can’t really recall anything. A few people have helpfully sent me some notes. Apparently I was funny (delirium does that). I gave away a house concert. I know I forgot words a couple of times. I had trouble playing the melodica because I couldn’t get enough oxygen in my system.
But everything seemed to go really well. I was surrounded by musicians who I consider to be good friends as well as very talented. Jimmy Ether played a short acoustic solo set and Adam McIntyre drove all the way from Nashville to do a set.
Okay, this is the worst summary I’ve ever done. It was a good show, so they tell me. Thanks to everyone who made it out, I can’t believe I’ve managed to keep that thing going six years in a row now. Every year I think will be the year that no one shows and every year you guys come out anyway. Thanks so much!
Meanwhile…
I knew playing the show that I was shooting myself in the foot as far as whatever it is that I have. Sure enough the next day I felt awful. This weekend has been exclusively me, at home, not moving around much. I have shows next weekend… singing a song with Susi French Connection on Friday and then a band show on Saturday. Which means I have rehearsals during the week. And right now, today? I can’t talk.
Wish me luck.
