We have a gig today at the East Contra Costa County Historical Society. They have a big "event" out there every September with folks in period (1900 or so) clothing, tractors on display, etc. More importantly, they cook up some good tri-tip and let us (the Band) have unlimited beer. I have no clue what we will be paid. Am I allowed to mention that today is my Birthday? Well, maybe it is,and maybe it isn't. I don't like it when my posts get deleted. OK, off to make sureI have everything I need. .I'll be on guitar today. Let's see: guitar, cords to amplifier, capo, tuner, strap, mic,mic stand, mic cables. clothing. mushrooms. Just kidding about the mushrooms. Wish us big happy fun!

You can't forget the mushrooms! How will the little old ladies work their magic on you if you don't take the mushrooms, too? Have fun and happy birthday, whenever it is...
