been busy, been working, been stressed.
lots goin on. new this that and the other thing. some good, some bad, some i haven't made up my mind about. and of course the stress levels keep jumping around like crazy. and not just at work.
more concerts on the way - tracy byrd jan 20th and tracy lawrence on feb 14th (had to pull some serious strings for that one) trying to keep energy levels in the building while still playing some of the crap thats been coming out of nashville... and texas. once upon a time i could play all night long and have that floor packed with people dancing to country, not just the dance sets. granted, we lost a great friend in Mr. Bell, but without a dance instructor we are really having problems. people dont know how to dance anymore. the music coming out lately has been too fast, too slow, or just plain BAD! texas country? 90% of texas country is not worth playing in a bar with a dancefloor and is more suited to a bar with cowshit and blood on the floor and a bunch of guys standing around, beer in hand, goin "yep, that there's a good song" is it a good song because it has artistic merit and makes people feel and want to dance?... or is it a good song because it's by a guy from texas?
and as far as classic country goes. if i cant play what the younger crowd will stay for and have to play crap... well FUBAR all over again.
cant win but i'll go down fightin' one way or the other.
