Tonight, Jar Of Souls opened for Harlen Simple and Oddbox at Sharpshooters. This was the first time I had ever set foot in this particular establishment, and it was a pretty decent place. The crowd was good -- young, energetic and open to the music.
The show was a fundraiser for a friend of Harlan Simple's that passed away earlier this month. I think that enough money was raised to cover the bills and expenses. I do hope that is the case.
We played pretty well (excepting two songs for which we pretty much completely checked out). It seemed like we were getting a good reaction from the audience. Afterwards, I heard quite a few compliments as I was working the crowd.
I went through yet another set of strings on Thank You This is the third set in a rather short period of time; this one didn't last nine days. It's always the G string, too. I'm thinking that either I'm plucking way too hard or I have something physically wrong with the bridge on my Fodera. I suspect that it's probably the former in this case.
And, just to finish out the litany of woes, I tore off part of my finger nail. And I did it on our reggae version of Feel Like Makin' Love. Lately, I've been trying to play it more palm-mute style, to get a better reggae feel. That results in my hand being at a strange angle to the strings. Tonight, the end product was tearing off the outside half of my index finger nail. I got lucky, though; it didn't bleed during the show and I could tear off the ripped portion fairly easily.
