Well, I went to Shoney's last night to meet with Carmen. I met the drummer, Rick, in the parking lot and we sat there until well after six. Thing was, she and Susan were inside waiting on us. I suppose that was a communication breakdown between musician logic and non-musician logic.

Regardless, we didn't catch one another. Rick and I drove to Carmen's house and linked up with her there. We talked a bit about what we wanted to do and which way we wanted to go. Or, rather, they talked and I listened.

Now ...

As for the main reason I'm writing. Mike Peeler called me a little while ago and asked me about playing with his band. I'm supposed to meet them tomorrow and jam a bit, or talk, or something. He might bring me some tapes tonight so that I won't be quite so lost. I haven't really made up my mind just what I want to do, in regard to playing with Mike's band or playing with Carmen's, but I'm going to check out my options. If I enjoy what Mike and his band is trying to do, and they want me, I may go with them. But Carmen and Rick love the blues, and they're talking about playing it. I've always said that I'd love to play some blues.

I suppose I'll have some decisions to make in the next few days. I'm going to meet with Mike and his band tomorrow and then with Carmen, Rick and Susan Monday. So we'll see.
