Boogie Street?

It’s the end of our final rehearsal - the gig is next Tuesday. We’ve had the works - keyboard, amp, drum machine, Bose dock for the backing track recordings, yards of cable ... and a couple of stools to put them on. Eight of the singers have gone home; one has stayed to help get every last bit of this gubbins into our car, back to the house, back up to the study till next week.

It was, mercifully, a really good rehearsal. The backings made things work, brought it together. People had done their homework. Now all we need is the audience. And, not for the first time, I can think of nothing but ... bed.

Night night.
