The worst part was the mental aspect. The acoustics really did a number on my mental state (at least I'm going to blame acoustics
). At one point, I reverted back to quarter notes on the hats...boom-chic, boom-chic....just to try to keep us together. It really shook up my confidence. I felt like a complete novice....more than usual. It was like a musical version of "Pokemon Go" with everyone looking for the groove
The street runs north/south, so there was a little breeze...but it was a hot, moist wind from the south. The kind that makes it feel like you're fighting for air. We did each get a free gourmet hotdog...which was nice. I had a 1/4Lb polish sausage topped with pulled pork, chipotle coleslaw, onions and a dill pickle, all on a potato bread bun! A move that I regretted this morning...
That blue building with the clock tower is the "Schmuck" building, LOL. Also purported to be haunted. Last year, I joined the planning committee for these monthly events, so now I get to help organize the events every month. The charity organization that funds it and organizes it asked me yesterday to be on their board of directors. We'll see how much time I have to spare.
