I did get that wedding band job btw! they don't need me until february (current bassist is sticking it out til the end of the year) (this is good because I have time to learn everything) but also my first gig is in freaking maryland so basically my suffering is immeasurable

#getting a free hotel room tho so thats cool #set list is awful turbonormie stuff too but I can deal with that lol #it's work! 🤷#very very thankful that everyone in my own band is a snob with great taste #anyway now im learning a song or two a day on top of everything else in my life sooo yeah! at my limit i think!#just trying to remember that im at a skill level now where increasing repertoire needs be my highest priority anyway #(repertoire = learning the 'language'/'grammar' = better expressive ability in those genres)#and i guess that's kinda the endgame once you have the machanics of everything down #so yeah taking no small amount of solace in the fact(!) that despite giving up so much of my personal time #i am ending every day a teeny tiny bit more skilled than the day before #dangling 'quitting my day job someday' in front of myself like a carrot on a stick lol
