I am practicing for the 8 gigs I have in the last two months of this year. As I am out of work, I have more time for the practicing. But preparing for the big move next week has been a mammoth job. I try to practice just the hard stuff, but some times I get carried away and find myself dwelling on the lyrical, nice sounding stuff. Then I shake it off and go back to working on the difficult passages.

Stephen Wright is one of my fav comedians. I used to tell this joke of his, one of my favorite. “I bought some powdered water, but I didn’t know what to add.”
