la bamba at the middle school, lost weekend at night

Took the bass amp, keyboard amp, to schoo. Talked with the saxophone star who won't join the group, wants to interrupt all the time--hey, take turns already! Talent has to be moderated by character and goodwill. I will limit the choices of notes when I do it again, I will probably assign notes, or assign section leaders.

Am excited to be going to hear my friend Don play tonight with his 11-piece Texas swing band. The fiddle player is supposed to be great, and I have wanted to hear this bass player for a long time. Don played some of his cowboy songs at my house this past Friday: I am interested to hear them with Bobby Black on pedal steel guitar (the best player in the area!)
