on the band again

I'm really missing the blogging world. Oh, I read them, but I miss being a part of it.
I'm getting back into life here. I'm starting to feel human - well - it doesn't hurt that Mandi is back in town :) a good friend mkes like seem more full and normal.
I had a gig last weekend, just Micheal the guitarist and some vocalists and me. I practiced hard, I was nervous. It's been a while and I didn't know if I could carry my own.
I did:)
So there's been the question of what to do with the band. There's this other fiddler that took my place when I moved to Brasil and they didn't want to kick her out after she's worked so hard, but they kind of wanted me back too. They racked their brains to figure out how to have things work out without hurting her feelings, and the solution was to do a two-fiddler band. Celic music is better in numbers and there isn't much harmony, so they figured it was worth a shot.
She decided to be offended anyway.
But I'm back in the band now....
So of course I felt incredibly guilty and called up Micheal to see if things were okay.. like, were people in the band okay after this... why would they want me back if I left them in the lurch before - what if I left again, I'd REALLY hurt the band again... ak!
He told me it was okay... the band was actually on the road to end, mainly because Micheal hadn't had the desire to book anything since he didn't want to play with the other fiddler anymore.
And suddenly, we have a bazillion gigs lined up and I feel normal again. I think they'll be glad to have me back, and I'm practicing to impress.
:)
And I am SO gunning for a Grammy nod with our next CD - I want to do a Celtic kids album. All the kids CD's out there are so lame - we could do such a tasty one!! Anyone have ideas for songs or nursery rhymes you loved as a kid?
That's what I gots for today.
