1. james & james; 2. volunteering at the library; 3. visitors (KK & kaykay) outside smoking, talking rocknroll & blues & life (they are really nice people, each of them!); 4. last night's show: wow. can't believe i got to be in that mix: the audience cheered for an encore, & that hasn't happened at harvelle's for a good long while. matt samia was absolutely fantastic on that guitar, probably the fleetest-fingered & certainly one of the most melodic & intelligent & fiery guitarists i've ever heard! it was fun to fit piano around his playing & james's singing & harmonica & sing some myself & play play play, laying back to make rm for matt & james, then stomping it where need be, even soloing when they threw it to me, slipping in & weaving around what they were doing & having that slinky exhilarating feeling one gets when being a car in the carnival ride of a good band (in this case, a GREAT band!); 5. kind & much-appreciated advice about parenting & life & having a lifelong partnership from parents & older, wiser friends; 6. happy visit w/jackie & dave at impeccably clean, eccentric house of hayden in long beach; 7. mountain fire not that near to the mtn home & nobody has been injured by the inferno (add to that that texas relatives were not hurt in deadly tornado that touched down in their very town); 8. playing songs today w/james for KK & kaykay & KK said my voice reminded him of iris dement & i realized i've heard that before & that's not bad company at all!; 9. still sober after all these many yrs, & my better half coming up on six months & the world of friends & loved ones cheers & in the end, the world will benefit more from sober james, for his talents & abilities now can go beyond long beach & bring this world greater happiness, i think!; 10. our talk last night, & lately, marshaling my strength as i realize, like he's been telling me for so long, what a TEAM we make! we are realizing our dreams, the bottom line being, he reminds me over & over, our true love. the other eve i meditated & really remembered that 1st time i met james... [just deleted a huge gushing section; i'll let him read it cause he'll love it, but it's too personal to share: soul stuff. anyways, maybe reading this, you'll be inspired to write something deep & appreciative to someone you love!]
at this rate, we will be very happy, healthy old people who share w/friends & loved ones much love & happiness, & what a nice thing to anticipate, i think... ok, that's it for today's gusharama! :D
