Major Screwup...mine - 04/30/18 01:57 PM
A local Vets home, place where I’ve been playing for years, asked me, a couple of months back, to play for one of their biggest events...their volunteer banquet. I’ve done this banquet a number of times.
I was very careful to put the event date in all my calendars. That said, I’ve never missed a gig for this Vets home.
However, last Sunday evening, I received a phone call from the Vet’s home coordinator...
“Are you coming? The event has started”.
After a profuse apology to the Veterans event coordinator, I realized I had confused the Veterans banquet on my calendar with an event my grand daughter was in. No way could I make it to the volunteer banquet. Thing is, I wasn’t able to make it to my grand daughters event either.
I’m thinking that after several years of performing at this Vets home that ny time with them is over. This was a pretty big screw up. They had a number of folks they could have chosen for the banquet...but I was requested.
(Place whatever expletive/swearword you want here.) I just did a number on myself.
