My music story : #36: Givson Blue Diamond

-

 I finally had my guitar, now it was time to be in a band! Having the guitar, I was in, but there was a better guitar player! Joey. So there was an agreement made, I would be in the band, if Joey can use my guitar, I can play the bass and be in the band. 

We played Papa Roach, Nativity in Black, the Ugly Kid Joe version and Joey’s signature finger style blues! Joey was amazing on guitars! We ended up winning every competition we played. We won the rockstar status in college, we bunked classes with attendance! 

I just carried my guitar to college with a rough book in the guitar case. I spent a lot of time practising, watching, listening, learning all the music from Joey and friends. Joey and I hung out a lot, at brigade. We also went to a few shows together. He also lent me his music cassettes, where I heard Mr. Big, Ugly Kid Joe and Extreme. These artists became part of my everyday listening.

Leg > Bike

 I met with an accident today! To save my new bike I used my leg to cushion its fall! I have a crack on my middle toe bone! I had gone to Saptagiri hospital initially, the first doctor who operated on me was a student, he was learning to stitch on my leg. During the stitch, I insisted that a real doctor do this. Then the next guy there tried adjusting my bone back over the stitch without knowing that it’s stitched. I was in soo much pain.  Then we decided to go to Baptist hospital, I got admitted and got my surgery done. Atleast I saved my bike.

Snow!

I know it’s hot and humid, But why do I have cold feet?  Butterflies in my stomach,  I’m feeling all that again.  I know I’m in love.  She’s an artist,  Paints sceneries and teaches me the art too!  Organised, clarity in speech,  My “crush”  Then I noticed the ring,  There was perhaps a man in her life?  I secretly wished for someone, just like her.  Then it snowed, just on the inside, My heart felt heavy A song left my lips,  I prayed, I manifested!  Now I wait.

 6:14 am! I took a shower and got ready for class at 7:00 am! But the class got cancelled. So I ended up playing the piano and guitar and singing some old songs.  Then I lost the mood to play the instrument and came back to bed sweating! Then I listened to a lot of Tamil songs, some of which I want to arrange on guitar. Maybe I was listening to a lot of melodic sad songs, the voice lulled me to a semi sleep state.  Then it was class time from 4:00 till 8:30 pm. Long day.
