Well, it’s Tuesday, so I need to decide whether I’m going to the session. I think so… mind you I’m feeling like I don’t know any songs. I mean apart from the 14 in the show. But aside from that, I guess I need to make a bit of a decision some time soon. If I’m going to continue playing the bass I really need to get in more conditioning time. The upright takes a lot of muscle, and I’m just not built like a bass player, so it’s too easy for me to overplay and develop an injury. In a past life I managed to spend time on the instrument every day, even when I wasn’t gigging on it, just to stay in shape. And I had a couple of friends I could call on to come over and work a few tunes with me, kind of like a pair of runners putting in miles. But being of no fixed address kind of put a stop to that. And life’s taken over for a while now, as sometimes happens. Fair enough. But if it’s going to continue to be part of my life I need to make that room somehow. And if not then maybe it’s time to put the instrument into someone else’s hands. I’m not in any particular hurry to drop it. But that conditioning is going to make a decision for me sooner rather than later. In the meantime I think I’ll go play some tunes with some nice people. See if I know any songs.
