I spent 12 hours today/night with my good friend JTP (John the Plumber).... He had a for a favor gig at a new bar/beer garden in his home town to set up his stuff to play guitar(s) and sing backed up by recorded discs.... kind of like kareoke but live singing and playing.... it was to be a 4-8 pm little deal.... something to do on a great outdoor Oct. afternoon... I helped set up and worked the sound board for John... from 2-3:30 i think i counted 30 folks sitting around the outdoor garden... nice little crowd.. closer to about 7pm when the sun had set the place started filling up.... John's son Jim and his buddy showed up ( we are in our 50's) the younger guys in their 20's.... the younger dudes started playing during our break.. great stuff mostly original tunes....by quiting time (8pm) the place was filling up(beautiful evening outside) and the joint was really starting to jump! Jtp went back up and played another 45 minuites.... then his son Jim and his buddy took over the deal and played another half hour or so.... then a couple other dudes that we know showed up and played and sang and we were bumping on 10 pm.... curfew for loud music in the historic town of Florissant Mo. At 10 pm we had to shut the deal down.... no dicker sticker on the deal as rules are rules.. during the breakdown of equimpment and loading it seems to me that every goodlooking gal in St.Lois county was just getting there
to begin to party !! Having been there since 2 in the afternoon in the sun i was starting to yawn, feeling hungry, my back was hurting, just looking to get packed up and get home.... now it is about 11pm.... the bar is full of young folks just getting started for the night (i remember those days).. so here i am wishing for a cup of coffee, wishing i was allready home, wrapping up cords and hoisting speaker cabinets etc into a plumbing van whilst out of the corner of my eyes seeing late shift waitresses coming on duty 30 years younger than the ones working in the afternoon when WE got there .. By the time we were all packed up the owner paid John twice what the deal was and set up 2 buckets of beer... so of course we stayed a little longer than planned
got home after midnight...
that's my what i did this weekend story
... just glad my choppers stayed in 
Now I know why you were up so late. You said Good morning before you went to bed. You'll probably see this about noon today. Take it easy Doc yer recompensator isn't getting any younger.
