 Used a head shake for the first time Wed nite. Gotta tell ya, I 
thought it was VERY useful. I felt as if I got a better sound than when 
I just shook the harp instead.

  Interestingly, I played a Rice Miller CD yesterday because I wanted 
some inspiration for the Thurs nite jam, when I noticed that the CD was 
VERY repetitious. It seemed that the same couple tricks that happened 
to fall out of the bag were the only ones being used. I think it was "I 
Don't Know" that actually started annoying me.
 I think someone should shoot me NOW, as I'm obviously getting too old.
