I was getting $5 a test last year and this was a pain in the ass. I had to make a trip into town to complete the test and frequently it wasn't convenient so I had to make a special trip.
Now in Panama, $5 is OK money. I am reluctant to give this up because who knows what the future will bring.
Now I am busier than a one legged man in an ass kicking contest. But all could change in a flash.
So he agreed to double the fee to $10 and I agreed to do it.
We have a play/show next week where we are playing 4 songs. Not a problem, you say.
Well, I was gone for a week and Yella has been sick so we have not rehearsed the songs. And I have to learn 3 new songs.
I m not the sharpest blade in the draw for learning new material.
One of the songs is the beautiful George Harrison tune, "Here comes the sun". This is a tricky little ditty on the guitar and it looks like I am not going to make it in time for the performance.
So we are working up yet another song as a back up for my possible failure to be prepared.
Last night Yella felt well enough to do some rehearsing. She was not 100% but good enough.
Unfortunately, I was in a surly mood because I don't have enough rehearsal time to suit me and I am getting up tight about being ready. She was a little off because she is still sick.
Didn't go well...but we did get one song started.
I hope to get some more rehearsal time! Things may get dicey. Hell, they are already dicey.
We start rehearsals for the Broadway Review piece on Saturday. Today, I start rehearsal for El Grade de Coca Cola.
Both these plays are in late May and early June so it is not as bad as it may sound.
But, it is busy.
And I have to get my Panama taxes done...a big job because we finished the house last year.
And, my old company wants a big chunk of work too.
Whooo!!!
I do like to be busy but this is pushing it.
Again!
Someone once said: Nothing changes.
They may be right.
