Hey folks
Reporting tonight from Inwood NY. I delivered a load here today, and it wasn't all that great a day. Not exactly terrible, but not great. There were three people assisting me to unload the trailer but they were perhaps the slowest lollygagging jackoffs I've delivered to yet. It took ten hours to unload the truck but with that much help it really only shold take about half that long. I'm still parked in their parking lot, fortunately I didn't really have anywhere to go to until tomorrow.
Also the trailer was filthy inside and the person(s) who loaded it did a pretty shitty job, they put all of the stuff that won't roll down the rollers way up at the front of the trailer.
Whatever. It doesn't seem that my complaining makes for readable blogs, judging by the lack of comments on my last one.
Couple of nights ago I sat in a very little bit with some musicians who were playing in a coffee shop up in northampton. I am really impressed with the musical talent of various of randoms who play places like that. One person will suggest a song and everyone else just seems to know it, or they'll be able to improvise along if they just know what key it's in. And they switch off instruments if someone wants to go grab a coffee. I spose I might teach myself certain basic things that I've neglected in my overspecialization on fingerstyle blues. I really love music, and I find that playing in a group of musicians is one of the greatest feelings in the world, if you can credibly keep up with them. It makes me wish I had just a little bit more than the meager talent I have. I think one thing I oughta do when I get to doing local work is to take guitar lessons, preferably with groups of people, to broaden my experience and help with my motivation.
Nother thing I could complain about is that lately I have trouble sleeping more than about five hours or so at night. I disintegrate around ten or eleven after a day like today, but then I wake up at about 330 am and I can't get back to sleep, and I totally hate it. On the other hand though when I'm real tired from unloading a truck I can sleep more, so whatever.
Hope all are well.

But do learn to play. I doesn't matter if you're never particularly good. It's just fun playing with friends.
