Week 3: Part 2

Thurs:

Spent the day working on this weekends set list.  Five songs, all but one in the key of G. By the end of the day I had them all down—even the last minute addition.

Fri:

In the evening, I found that the house we made an offer on last week had dropped $20k—right where our offer was, yet nobody contacted us. In the process of finding out was going on, my wife discovered the house across the street just came on the market, so after taking a look at it we made an offer.

Sat:

Ran through the set list for the last time, just to make sure I’ve got everything covered. Last night I learned that one of our team members birthday is today, so I learned Happy Birthday for her. I thought of learning the Beatles song but I didn’t have enough time to do it right so…

This is what our Aviom looked like-- many, many years ago

I took a few hours to relax before our rehearsal and service. My stomach was feeling upset, but I didn’t thing anything of it and moved on. I played my anniversary bass thinking the preamp would help me hear myself in my headset through the Aviom system. Didn’t work. I can hear everything just fine when I am the only one playing, but when the band is all in I can’t hear a thing. Our sound guys tell me the reason for this is our analog soundboard and the crummy Aviom system that gets overloaded by the signal. 

Still waiting on the reply to our house offer… but we should know something by the end of the night.
