Clutch that matey! XVIII

Hmm.

Alright, during the course of my shift just now (wednesday evening, although it's already thursday morning) I managed to meet up with Big Boss Colin McDonald!!!

OMG!!! I just bumped into him as I was walking away from BQ bar, and I just slid into the conversation with him:

CM: 'Hey, (my name), how're you?'

C: 'I'm ok Mr McDonald, how's things with you.. going to Molly's or heading home?'

CM: 'Well, I'm heading home, I've spent too much time at Molly's and I need to go home to my family so that they can start recognising me again'

C: 'ahaha yeah'

(short pause)

CM: 'so tell me, how's your musical career coming along?'

C: 'well, it's been good so far, because Gerry's been really supportive for friday nights etc, and I've always wanted to talk to you about something'

CM (raises eyebrows a titch)

C: 'I was wondering if you could let me have a couple of gigs somewhere like Molly's (sees surprised expression on CM's face) or anywwhere if it's possible, because I'm REALLY passionate about it'

Skipping back a few weeks, I was hanging out with Gerry and Mags at Father Flanny's and Gerry was in the loo, so I was just chatting with Mags. Mags told me she believed that if I talked to Colin myself, and expressed my passion and enthusiams about the whole pub-gigging thing (which I really do, mind, body and soul), he would be willing to give me a shot. Ok, back to the conversation:

CM: 'well, we'll see how it goes (smiles) and I'll talk to Gerry (smiles again, and I reciprocate) but for now, I can say yeah, it's a go, and it's great to see your playing take off'

(shakes hands and makes a move)

Oh man... I can almost see myself gigging pretty soon. Now that my hand's back to 99.99% (pls dun forget that I did four songs a little while ago, and one of them included 'Highway To Hell') and I've been listening to more music, it'll only be a matter of time, and I hope 'a matter of time' would start before the end of the holidays.

If you read the final line of the conversation carefully, he expresses his approval regarding the whole issue, which rightly means I've got a gig coming my way. However, I'll let Gerry and Colin talk to each other in good time, and then I'll see how things work out. Till then, I'll hope and pray.


Cheers,
