Scatered, ears ringing and wondering

where did my weekend go?

Load-in, set up in dirt

Sound checked, rain and disturbed

 

Darkness, smokey and curt

Midnight arrives

I find it an ever d...

Music is the session

Bespoke, tailored and informed

By experts, assesments and the sought

I'm even trained in Vdt MOCA

So there's enough in my locker

 

Yet I'm met with refusal, indignance and betrayal

How on earth could I fail?
Your engagement is essential

To know if I'm succe...
