Not happy Jan!

Hello world... tonight was meant to be a joyous occasion. Tonight, Saturday, August 14, 2021, was meant to be our first gig together. We've been looking forward to this since our first rehearsal. It's been thought about, dreamed about, talked about, and planned, for months. For some of us, it was going to be a return to gigging after an 18 month break due to the global pandemic. For one of our fold, it was to be a first... a maiden voyage. First gig fronting a band at a real live gig, at a real live venue...

We have been rehearsing every weekend, almost religiously, for months. We've been learning new songs, getting our show just right... until the end of June.  A few new Covid cases in Sydney threw a major spanner in the works. We couldn't get together and rehearse. No big deal, we thought. This will all blow over in a week or two, and we'll be back into it...

So here I sit... Saturday, August 14, 2021, the night of our first gig... with no gig. I haven't seen the rest of the band since the end of June. I miss them... I miss the laughing. I miss the jokes, both good and bad. I miss hanging crap on them. I miss them hanging crap on me. I miss the camaraderie. I miss the music. How long will it be until we're all in the same room again? Who knows? I hope it's soon... but something tells me it won't be. As case numbers keep going up by the day, I can't see the light at the end of the tunnel.

​I'm not happy Jan!
