Got a call a little while ago from my guitar instructor. This guy
plays everything from classical to zydeco, and is very good. Well, his
rock band is playing a local club, told me to come by, and oh, don't
forget your guitar, it's time I got you to play to a crowd!!!! Now,
I've played quite a few years, have taken lessons a lot, and then
practiced alot, but I just never got comfortable with thinking I was
good enough to play with a DECENT band, kinda shy about it. He thinks
I'm good enough, so I'm going and I'm STOKED.


Cool! Fear is a great motivator, but it can turn into focus, instead. Keep
looking around for signals from the other players, and keep your ears open.
It'll go fine.

I'm working with a singer who's new to this band thing. Got her on stage in
front of a big crowd on Tuesday night. First song was a little shaky. The
second song sounded like she'd been singing it for years.
