It was that way last weekend...dead on my feet, yawning onstage. I thought my playing was really pedestrian that night. I even threw out a couple of clams when I tried to get adventurous.
Talked to the bandleader later and he told me, 'Man, you always play well with us, but I thought you sounded extra good the other night. Extra good! I guarantee, yes sir!!'
Hmm. Maybe I should play while exhausted more often.

I do so many gigs and get so tired... what with working a day job too, that I can't play now without a couple of Red Bulls or a monster. That stuff just lights me up. I hate to suggest taking up bad habits but it's better than heroine! I view this as a serious problem for me... I'm a bit older...
