It is Thursday, 9 March 2023.
I am a bit tired. I went to the show last night… glad I double-checked the venue… I originally thought I would be heading into downtown Kansas City to attend a show at the Midland Theater, a pretty big venue, and then realized the show was at a much smaller venue, the Madrid Theater, south of downtown on Main Street in Kansas City, Missouri.
No regrets, really. The crowds would’ve been ridiculous downtown, and the bar manager at the Madrid was an old co-worker of mine that married another co-worker, so she and I had a chance to chat and catch up which is always nice.
Guitar enthusiasts from all across the area were in attendance, and striking up conversations about Eric Johnson and guitar playing came pretty easy to the Wednesday night crowd. After the first set, there were more than a couple of guys overheard saying something about wanting to get another Telecaster, myself included.
This morning I’ll be back in my virtual classroom for a couple more lessons, our class closing, and then open lab time for the balance of the day. The Big 12 basketball tournament will serve as background noise for the lab session. We’ll make a family event of it, watching the recorded game after Lisa gets home from work. Kansas hosts Wednesday-night-winner West Virginia, and Kansas should be heavily favored. It can be quit the challenge to play games on consecutive days, and Kansas will be fresh as they earned a bye in the first round thanks to their regular season record.
So, let’s get going with the day.
I hope the world is treating you better than deserve.
Peace y’all.
