   Getting lost is too scary for me not to watch intently and be alert!

   That can happen at any age.

   I'd been on so much coffee for so long it wasn't working anymore, so as   
   usual, I decided to kick the habit so I'm now through with caffeine for the   
   time being. The other alternative is to keep ingesting more and more   
   caffeine, like with supplementing the coffee with NoDoz and Vivarin, like I   
   did before when I was killing myself with it but NO THANKS!!! When my   
   tolerance increases past a certain point, I just quit, so far 4 days of   
   constant headaches, but at least they're not severe and besides, I've got a   
   church gig at one of our singer's other churches so I'm knocking myself out   
   working on the songs she'll be singing at todays Saturday special service   
   for a recently deceased relative of hers:   
      
   "I Come To the Garden"   
      
   "I Believe" by Diamond Rio   
      
   "When I Get Where I'm Going" by Brad Paisley   
      
   Country tunes for the last 2 ;)   
   But they're really good ones, lots of nicely flowing chords, powerful Music   
   and powerful lyrics with meaning to go with it!   
      
   And a good song is a good song, no matter when it was written!   
   The band my Soulmate and myself play open mic night events with is currently   
   setting up paying gigs for all of us, and the  subject of setlist material   
   came up, mostly because I brought it up ;)   
   I mentioned that CopyCat Crap is Boring and  all worn out and that Originals   
   are the  way!   
   The response was the  usual one, indicating an almost Total lack of   
   confidence that any *new* Original material will be any good. So I mentioned   
   that I currently have 40 Originals, and that instead of debating verbally   
   about it, it would be better to give them a Listen and *then* comment on the   
   subject!   
   The reply to that was that there wasn't time.   
   So the next time, when I hear ANYthing negative being said about Originals,   
   I'll just have to hook up my mp3 player and let the Original Music speak for   
   itself!!!

   Probably need to get caught up on sleep ;)
