Less enthu

I have not been blogging with major enthu in the last few days. I don't know why. I know that it is just a matter of opening up this editor and start typing something. Even that requires some effort, seemingly! But I have not been in the greatest of moods in the last few days. I have been overwhelmed with work and the thought of not being as productive as I could be and I should be. I have to select the singers for the music show today. I wonder if I can carry this through till the end. I know I have to and I somehow will, but the lack of enthu from other instrumentalists is concerning me a little bit. In particular, I am kind of convinced that I can't be in a show that I like without a great drummer being there who can also play the octopad and stuff like that. Some people are just too attached to the acoustic drums. I totally respect that, but it'll be nice if they are versatile and accommodating enough to play the octopad. That would enable the inclusion of a lot of new songs which just can't be replicated on stage without a synthetic drum machine. There are enough keyboardists. It is going to be a logistical nightmare to coordinate all this. That would require a lot of energy. I can see why the past band leaders have kind of taken a back seat this time. The singers are all enthu. They kind of assume that everything else is taken care of. They are like actors in the movie sets. The director and his crew takes care of everything. The actors just come and act. Now they may argue that it's a big deal to act - I don't deny that, but they have far less stress than the director. Oh yeah, then that makes me like a director! I need to coordinate things and make sure that quality is maintained. Ok then, I'll take this as a great opportunity to do my best and evaluate the outcome. It should be encouraging. I am kind of concerned about the other regional songs. We will have a clearer picture by the end of this evening. I'll keep posting the developments.

What else is happening? I have to check out some gift for my friend. I haven't put too much thought into this. I have to do that also. Plus I may have to work from home. May be watch "Curb your enthusiasm" tonight. I haven't seen any episodes in that. I should like that 'cause it's by Larry David - the guy who co wrote Seinfeld!

There you go, there's a decent sized paragraph :)
