Night Shift

Night Shift

Since I am awake at 4am I thought I'd start this thread for those of us who have trouble sleeping and might find it helpful to have a place to go to chat. Whatever gets you through the night is alright.

To get the ball rolling, I'll just say that I enjoyed being part of the Topic Tuesday discussion tonight. I wish it was possible for these events to be weekly rather than monthly. Either way, thanks SANE and all the people I've met on here over recent months.

Edited June 2016 and February 2017: Night Shift is now open 24 hours a day. To join in, just click through to the last page of the thread at the top right of this post to get to the latest message.

Edited April 2017 and June 2017: For the sake of better communications between members here, I am adding that this thread is meant to be a caring, kind and gentle place of sharing. Humour is welcome, as long as its not unkindly directed towards other members. Hope your time in this chat thread is rewarding.

Re: Night Shift

Thanks @TAB

More condolences than ever got in my extended family. Possibly their confusion, embarrassment, shock and guilt more than mine.

I only had 2 years hearing non classical before I left home. Brothers choices were as important as mine, as he finagled all the technical equipment and was very competitive. Our tastes were influenced by people contact and not just pulled out of the air on the popular radio.

You can tell he was not just a boofhead. Its healing for me to remember this aspect of him. Its 24 years since he passed. His birthday is coming up and I have a CD launch on that date. Not sure if its related ... to all my convoluted technical and musical rants and raves....

Re: Night Shift

I was flying so high this week that I made 3 booboos. @TAB

Twice drove straight past where I was supposed to be going. Once on automatic pilot, but going to wrong spot. Forgot to take wallet out one day. A bit scatty but overall no harm done.

Going to same venue twice this weekend for diff performances. Hope I have the right outfit for the right gig. lol

Ah ... the things we have control of ... and those we dont ...
