If there was any doubt that I am out of shape, last week proved it concretely.  It’s all good, though.  I would play every night if I could even if it killed me.  Last Wednesday, the 16th, The Hi-Balls played an official party for the Acansa Arts Festival in downtown Little Rock and we had so much fun.  We made a lot of new friends in the local art scene and got our picture taken with the new conductor of Arkansas Symphony Orchestra, Philip Mann.  That was a thrill.  Friday night The Hi-Balls were back at Another Round Pub where the energy flows unbridled.  We love that place.  Saturday night I dragged my happy ass into Cregeens Irish Pub in Argenta for a 3 hour solo show.  I was exhausted but I love the people there so much that it didn’t feel like work at all.  As usual, I was sad when it came time to shut down.  Comparatively speaking this will be a slow week with the only show being Cregeens again on Saturday night.  I’ll take the rest with a smile.  Having fun never goes out of style.
