Okay, so it was only an amateur hour songwriter's night gig.

Okay, so we were still the best thing on offer. BUT...

I had a brain seizure in the third song, got halfway into the chorus & stopped... the next chord sequence just wasn't there in the fingers or the random access memory. It was gone.

And, okay, Gemma had already fluffed a verse in the first song (of three) that we did, but at least she could remember the f***ing words, unlike me, who didn't remember the passage I needed 'til I got home tonight, ripped the guitar from its case & played the song through again - & even then, only on the 2nd attempt...

We ended up doing a different song, after making as much of a joke of it as I was able & still went down well, but the night was dead for me by then.

Being a perfectionist has its downside. I can normally rely on myself to play, at worst, acceptably & usually cover for other's mistakes. But tonight marks the first time I've ever gone blank on a song - especially one that I wrote the music for!!!!!!!

We have a half hour set to play tomorrow night... Well, I know what I'll be doing during my lunchbreak at work...
