June 4, 2026··
Slelpt late but quite okey. Weren‘t that much angry today but later felt a little confused in rehearsal. However it all worked. Having a little Gig tomorrow. Practiced thw whole day, exercised a little. Got the offer to play on weddings as a one man show, pretty exciting idea, need to look into it. Good night 🌙
