It’s the day before the big day – the recording in Knoxville.  Heard about it?  New City Cafe.  6:30 and 9:30 PM.  Tickets $10 at the door, $5 if you e-mail Brian right now and ask for them.  Oh yea, that concert.

Anyway, I didn’t sleep much last night.  I tossed and turned.  It was like the night before Christmas, or the night before the night before Christmas.

I’m trying to decide to day which songs to sing.  Jim, the recording engineer requested a set list.  Problem is I don’t use a set list when I’m solo.  Ever.  I make it up.  But with so much invested the temptation is to change my M.O. and actually, you know, plan and stuff.

I’ll try but I can’t make any promises, Jim.

I’m practicing today, pulling out old songs I never play, trying to decide if they’re good enough to make the cut (translation: can I play them?) I bought a couple new cables just to be on the safe side, a tuner since my last one got stolen with that guitar of mine and never replaced.  I ate some Chick-fil-A for lunch just to get a little extra Holy Spirit in me before the big day.  I’m getting ready in every way I can think of.

I’d appreciate your prayers.  For a good night sleep.  A safe trip in the morning.  Smooth set up of all the gear.  Lots of people, some with DV cameras, showing up at both shows.  Healthy vocal chords.  And a set list for Jim. 

Or maybe not.
