Nobody would care but y'all. and then some.

So last week I was recruited to play on somebody else's CD - and they're gonna do one of my songs on the CD.

And then, on Thursday, I got called to play guitar for a local diva this weekend. Diva ain't the word really - she's a singer like Aretha, Stevie, Gladys Knight, Nikka - and she plays keys like Stevie, Sly - this girl is amazing.

So, that gig was yesterday (Saturday) and she asked me to do a couple of gigs with her today too. At the first gig today, she gives me the full schedule over the next month and says I'm in the band if I wanna be! This girl is FUNKY. The band is TIGHT. This is awesome y'all. I get to sing a coupla my tunes and then just be Jesse/Wendy the rest of the night.

We did the double header, wrapped it up at midnight, and y'all, I AM WHUPPED. And RICH. 4 gigs this coming week. Looks like I'm gonna be busy busy busy for the rest of the summer!

Nothing. It kills me. Well - she does almost exclusively covers - stuff like "Don't Change Horses" by Tower of Power, "Baby I love you" by Aretha, up to Superstition, Higher Ground, Thankyoufalettinme... etc.

I plan to get her a disc of my stuff this week, hopefully she'll start doing some of my songs... putting some originality on the shows.

If I get a live recording, I'll post a tune or two up online.

So I decided, if I'm playing funk, I need me a telecaster.

So I went on ebay and bid on a decent one (japan, mid 80's) and then tracked down a friend that would trade me his for my Les Paul.

Sure enough, I won the bid. So, now I gots me two telecasters. Eh, well, you can't have too many of em!

Dude she's got me working 4 nights a week and looking to book me two more. I'm gonna have two full-time jobs in no time. It's worth it, but I dunno how long I can last!
