Re: 2nd Annual Boise Experimental Music Festival - Call toMusicians
Hi there Kris,
I saw your post and just thought I'd remind you that IAM still thinking
about your previous invite to perform at BEMF again.
I just can't confirm or commit just yet.
Sorry.
I really WANT to.
But, I have so many things happening to me in life just now that there is
little time to even think of music.
It's sad to say, but I haven't played in months.
And, I only want to come and perform if I know I can aquit myself
respectably.
If I came right now (as "cold" as my "chops" are) I would only embarrass
myself.
I've had enough of situations like that . . . too many in fact.
Anyway, please continue to hold a space for me 'til I can decide.
