Tonight's gig should have been great. It was supposed to be a freelance gig, but turned into a gig with BA when the usual singer / harmonium player got sick and asked her to fill in. And it would have been great. Big crowd. Friday night. Etc etc etc.
But the new drummer in town, who clearly wants my job, sat right in the front and made a spectacle of himself, and BA was extra uber orthodox between songs, and the whole thing just had me questioning my place in this particular community / flavor of music.
Mercifully, I had a lovely connection afterwards with the sweet little family who come to many of our gigs, reminding me that there are least a few decent people out there, who are not sanctimonious and holier than thou. But when that discussion ended, I turned BA down for dinner, and just came home.
Feh.
