We didn't expect anything, and were not disappointed

Gig - fair. Even when we're bad, we're good. We gave everything, but today everything was 50% of the usual.
Audience - small but enthusiastic. Too many other bands playing tonight. But those who were there looked like they were enjoying themselves. Especially the dancers.
On-stage sound - terrible. Could I hear anything? Bollocks!
Voice - gone. It cracked when I tried to talk over a guitar playing. What I wanted to say was that it was too loud. Figures. Back to croaking.
Proprietor - pleasantly surprised. I think he was all set not to like us; he's more a Country and Heavy Metal kind of guy. But in the end, he seemed ready to book us again, and the barmaid even suggested having a folk session night. Suits me fine!
Me - tired. Sleep now.
